Immortal celly!

[MiranoPoncho]

Hello! I have a dillemma. I've not been able to slow my 1.3 celeron to a screeching halt. odly enough, and yes, i only avrage 10 fps at 640x480 in doom, 3, but this confuddles me:hitman 2, morrowind 3 installing,Driver, neverwinternights, photoshop, winamp, mechwarrior vengence, aim, yim, wm10, and a few mozilla/ ie windows, plus word, powerpoint. everything went smooth, no slowdowns that i could see, as hiccups, glithcyness, nothing. plus 1 other user logged on, using outlook in the background. I really dont know how it did it, but the virtual mem buffer was hovering around the 800mb mark. any ideas?

Be happy

Hmm. I suppose i never looked at it that way. Geuss I should bring out the grape soda and rejoice!

Yes, rejoice indeed. You have the powerful Celeron in your box. Now go forth and be happy.

Those Tualatin Celerons were a very good value chip.

It is a pity the Tualatin didn't see more action. Oh well.

yep those tuallies were pretty damn good

have you tried overclocking? i heard that they can go on the upwards of 1.6GHz...

1.6GHz on a p6 based architecture is going to be pretty smoking, id imagine it to be equivilent to a 2.0GHz P4.

the biggest downfall to the tualatin was probably the chipsets (815E b-step and the VIA xxxxT), and the fact that they ran on an SDR bus and used SDR ram.

I've been playing around with a newly acquired tually 1.1 on a VH6T for the hell of it. It seems to oc in the 1.6-1.65 range. Using a few SiSuck benchies, it does in fact seem to hover in the same performance realm of an XP1800+ or a P4 2.0 for the cpu tasks. And yes, the SDR does seem to hold it back quite a bit. For an office setup, this thing really is a dream. A very quiet setup can be made as little heat is produced. I think ultimately, the SDR really holds it back for gaming though.

actually, i would like to know how to unlock my multipliers. I have 1.0 tulatin core, clocked now to 1.33 ghz, and unfortunatley, my mobo, a biostar m6vlq(ple133) dose not have anything other than fsb adjustments. im really looking forward to a 1.4, so i can clock it at 1.862ghz. i mean, at stock the thing is snappy, but oc'ed its hard to slow down. Benchmarked it, to my friends p4 1.6 and it stomps it. any ideas on where to get a 1.4 tulatin chip? or just get me a p3 1.4 coppermine( my bios has no multiplier or vcore covoltages) thaNKS

Its not your board. The CPUs multiplier has been hard locked since the p2-266.

 

[MiranoPoncho]

Really? i could swear that my 466 celly was unlocked i oced it when i was about 11 so i didnt know what i was doing. it did feel slower.. even though it was at 733( hadnt been released yet)

You mean the PII-350.

Those P3 Tualatin Cellys could take quite a load though, assuming that your mobo's power regulator was up to the challenge as well. I never could get my 1.2Ghz one to OC to 1.6Ghz like some people, it was rather disappointing. Might have been a limitation on the signal integrity due to the slotket. But an SiS 635T-based platform is real screamer to put a Tully Celly into. Much faster than those other Intel chipsets, and pardon the naysayers, but it was totally rock-solid for me. Much much better than Via's 694X or PLE133T cr*p.

Hey, didn't some German re-markers re-engineer those multiplier locked SECC and SECC2 units with a bit of extra circuitry (hidden inside the package) that allowed them to change to whatever multiplier they wanted?

Ahhh, I forgot about the 635T chipset. Doh! I even had one at one time, I think an ECS unit. I didn't think the VIA solutions too aweful, they seemed to work fine. The Apollo Pro266T chipset looked mighty nice.
