Asus P3V4X motherboard. What is the highest practical cpu upgrade?

Ive lost track of all the P3 CPU info and the motherboard is a slot MB to make things funner.


Any help is appreciated.
 
700e's were always great overclockers



i wonder though can a tulatian be used with a via board. i mean with right slocket convertor i am sure this is possible. then you can get the most performance out of it

Thanks for your reply. I think that this thread was partially answered in my other post. It looks like the right slot converter might make things easier but hard to come by and some are pricey.

 
Probably the fastest would be a 1gig or 1.13gig fcpga (not fcpga2 tualatin) p3 on a slotket. Your p3v4x should natively support 133fsb, 1/2 agp divider, 1/4 pci divider. It should support any of the coppermine cpu's, celeron or p3, might need a bios update. Because it was an overclockers' board in the first place, fancy slotkets shouldn't be necessary, the generics are a lot cheaper and easier to find. You should be able to overclock thru the bios alone, if that's the way you want to go. The coppermines basically max out about 1.1gig, so overclocking is mostly pointless with the higher speed grades.

Or check out the wares at www.powerleap.com. They offer special slotket kits with tualatin based processors, raising the upper limit somewhat over coppermines.....
 

I had a P3-850 running at 1,100 something, its been awhile. The system is still running, I sold it. It has one of those big ALPHA two fan Slot 1 heatsinks on it.
 
Jhhnn Thanks for the info. These are work machines so they wont be overclocked. We are getting ready to upgrade the OS/Server etc. and Im looking at all of our options. Would be nice to upgrade the hardware now so we dont have to reinstall all our crud again 6 months from now!

 
I would avoid any cheap generic Slockets ,they can cause stabality problems:disgust:
Go for a well known brand ,it can still be a plain slocket.

Btw ,a rare Danstp sighting!:Q😉
