Dual Tualantin Celeron?

[AllGamer]

Any possibility to run 2 Tualantin Celeron in Slot 1 P3 boards, using a good Sloket?

using the "Upgradeware Slot-T"

from Ebay:

Product Highlights:

SLOT-T will allow you to install "Tualatin-core" CPUs into a Slot 1 computer.
Support Socket 370 for Intel Pentium-III-S/Pentium-III/Celeron Tualatin-core processors
Support Socket 370 for Intel Pentium-III/Celeron Coppermine-core processors
Support FSB 66 / 100 / 133 MHz
Support Streaming SIMD Extensions
Support MMX? Media Enhancement
Support Dynamics Execution
Support Dual Independent Bus

Easy Installation.
Driver is not needed

Does not support Celeron PPGA ***

EDIT:

never mind found my answer

Celerons do NOT work in SMP for on any platform besides the BX and PPGA based Celeron format. Which was the 366mhz series. There is NO hacking of any type that will alow this.

hmm... oh well back on searching for P3s for the dual board

Thanks for the heads up

What are you going to be using this dually for, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Koharski]

just a random question,

why don't celerons work in dual CPU mode? Is there some hardware tweak that wasn't included in the core?

re: what for?

nothing really, just for fun.

it's currently a P2 350 since many many many years ago, and now that prices are soooo cheap, might as well topped it up,

it's already fully loaded with SATA drives with a SATA controller, and 1 GB of RAM 168 SDRAM ECC

it always had a ATI All in Wonder, i guess i use it mainly for TIVO / PVR or whatever you wanna call it.

for games i have a much better machine, and i wont go into details on that one, but the price tag is pretty close to buying a new small car

 

[AllGamer]

oh yeah reading for that line above

Support Socket 370 for Intel Pentium-III-S/Pentium-III/Celeron Tualatin-core processors
Dual Processor support (Pentium-III-S Only, Celerons do not work in dual mode!)

What is the difference between Pentiun 3 vs. Pentium 3s?

they are both Socket 370

I was just wondering if it was for DC purposes actually. But okay, that's cool. I'm paying attention to your threads, as my dual P3 gets here tomorrow. It's getting added to the existing two P3's in my crack rack...

The GTL commucation has been disabled in all. AFAIK.

Mr Guru. (remedy)

Any idea what is the difference between Pentiun 3 vs. Pentium 3s?

they are both Socket 370

i mean, are there P3 in socket 370 that can not work in a Dual enviroment?, i guess difference between coppermine vs tualantine?

Pentium 3s has more cache, and supported dual sockets.

 

[snoturtle]

The 3s was the Tualatin-core ones

They were somewhere between a p3 and a p4 and actually beat some of the early P4's in most things

And yes there are Socket 370 Pentiums that will not work in a dual system

The P3s (tualatin-core) chips with only 256k cache don't work in dual has to be the 512k cache ones

Some of the P3s chips had more cache but not all of them

All of the Pentium III-S processors had 512 KB of L2 cache. Other Tualatin and Coppermine processors had 256 KB. Katmais had 512 KB, but were Slot 1 only.

Linkage.

 

[snoturtle]

you are correct

I was thinking Tualatin core chips

 

[AllGamer]

woah! great information guys, that helps alot on shopping for the right parts on ebay

thanks

Keep us posted with what you find, get, and how it works out, if you don't mind.

 

[Twsmit]

Katmais had 512Kb cache, but it ran at a fraction of the core speed and was off the CPU die. Tualatin were damn fine chips and fairly modern even by todays standards.

heh i still have one on a slocket t. things overclocked pretty well, using an asus p3v4x.

not sure its worth dumping money into such systems anymore though, frys keeps bundling nforce3-4 m/b with 2800-3100+ for 70bucks. hard to beat. toss in 512mb ram for 30bucks and it just slaughters any p3 system, plus it has everything else integrated in mb to boot

 

[AllGamer]

well for safety and not to dump too much $ into such an Antique

i went for 2 real Slot1 P3 1000/100

the goal was to get a pair to run in Dually, since those non P3s socket370 can not be duallied, it kinda killed my desires to go as high as possible, which pretty much was 2 x 1400 Celery, or 2 x legit P3 1100

finding the ones that was P3Server was heck of a hard time, only found 1 in most instances, since the other one was from a very untrusty source.

however on my other single CPU machine, i might just take it as high as possible
