Does a Slot 1 PIII Coppermine 1GHz CPU exist?

[Zero07]

I just got my hands on a Dell Precision Workstation 410 (BX-chipset; dual-CPU support), and it now has a 450MHz PII CPU.
On Dells support page, I saw that, after a BIOS-update, you can upgrade the PII to a PIII 700MHz.
Since a 1GHz PIII also exists, I'd like to plug in one of those (if the BIOS can handle it). Problem is it needs to be a Slot 1 100MHz PIII 1GHz: does this exist??

Thanks!

yes they do exist but they're bit thin on the ground at present!

PIII 1 GHz is only 133 MHz bus speed.

The fastest at 100 MHz is the 850 PIII.

Also, you can always get a slotket to use a FC-PGA chip instead of a slot1.

1Ghz PIIIs w/ 100Mhz FSB do exist. I also thought they were a figment of someone's imagination. They came out very recently.

10x multiplier on P3 wow😀

there was a afew of them being sold on these boards a while back. extremely rare and pretty pricey still.

On your dell, 410, give me the revision of the mobo, open the case, lower left and corner, a yellow label.

Max for a Precision 410 depending on revision is 800Mhz , Slot 1, I tried 850 FC-PGAs on slocket, gets weird errors on Abit !!! and Iwill slockets 2.

if you get 2 retail p3 800 secc2 cpu, and a 3pin->4 pin fan adapter, it fits right in there, u have to get rid of the green crap fan duct. OEM - look for fan = hard to find one that FITS..

But anyway, let me know the revision of the mobo and you'll need that A14 BIOS also..

They exist but you'd have better luck finding an unicorn.

www.gamepc.com sells the 100mhz 1ghz p3, but there prices are pretty expensive.

 

[Zero07]

I'll check the revision tomorrow. It's getting pretty late here right now🙂
Thanks for the replies, guys!

There is 1g p3 retail slot 1's 100mhz buss cpu's for sale. One such place is accessmicro, for $328

 

[Rand]

Yes there are 1GHz Slot 1 P3's and there are also 900Mhz and 1GHz 100MHz FSB P3's.

 

[Zero07]

Forcesho > the revision of the mobo is REV. A03

I am running the special Edition Intel P3 Slot 1 1Ghz, by special edition i mean it was meant for the media to review and test. It came with a free motherboard, 128MB PC800 and a larger HS and 2 fans.

 

[badguy]

Absolutely. My local Intel dealer told me Slot 1 100FSB PIII 1Ghzs are available when I upgraded to Dual PIII 800s(can't afford dual 1Ghzs).

I found a unicorn FS at a computer fair once...try computer fairs.

I went to one this last weekend: pick up a V5 5500 retail for $155 (w/tax). Many vendors wee selling 1G PIII's of all flavors.

Almost picked up a 1.2 GHz althon for $270...and that's a great price because you can sort through their chips to get a "fresh out of the oven" blue core. I saw one of these doing something like 11 x 148 = 1628 MHz with air cooling (a lot of it) on a KT7A-RAID.

One user report with A02 using Slot 1 800MHz, I would say that 800 is definite because you can't return processors, 1GHz may work, but I dont wanna get stuck with them unless you know someone.. or a store that can verify for you.. ie bring your pc in and test it there... or sell u the 800s

I can't answer any of your questions. I would like to tell you I successfully replaced the original 350MHZ processors in my Precision 410 with 800 MHZ processors. After updating the bios to A14, I simply plugged in the new chips and rebooted. No other steps were needed! The only problem I had was that I didn't fully seat the processors at first and the system wouldn't boot until I did.

My new processors are the SECC2 (slot 1) PIII 800 MHZ/100MHZ bus variety. I'm using the retail version, i.e., the ones with factory fans and 3 year warrantees. The power cables that comes with these fans have three pins, but my motherboard has no appropriate place to connect them. I've posted a message requesting a source for the 3 to 4 pin converter cables that will allow me to connect to a spare power supply connector.

The 800MHZ chips are about half the price of the 1GHZ chips and seem like a better bang for the buck to me. Good luck.

that after updating my bios to A14, I installed retail version (i.e., ) Intel PIII 800MHZ/100 bus processors in my Precision 410. My mother board is version A02 and the original processors were 350MHZ.
Once I got the chips properly seated the system fired right up without any
