Looking for 1.4GHz Tualatin (SL6C6)

Where are you supposed to go to even find one of these CPU's?

Looking on ebay comes up with one guy who wants to charge me 4 times the actual shipping cost to ship to me - fscking scammer)

So how do you go about finding one of these CPU's? (and an Upgradeware Slot-T converter)

You could try a WTB in FS/FT, but finding one person with both a chip and slotket-T is much harder than finding each separately.

Also, is that a P3 or Celeron Tualatin? P3s were pretty rare, but the celerons are common and cheap (I have a couple of untested spares gathering dust myself, but 1.2-13. not 1.4)
 
Cheaper to just pick up an X2 and budget mobo, and will deliver better performance.

The Tulatins were good in their day, but they've really been eclipsed. Nostalgia is powerful though.
 
look on 2cpu.com - find some excellent deal for the more server related stuff (assuming the 1.4GHz 512KB cpu)

My computer is so old (Abit BX6r2, p3-750, 512mb ram, matrox g450 video card). That extra cpu power would be a nice breath of fresh air in this old thing.
 
The PIII 1.4 is going to be overpriced due to the fact that lots of people like you want to upgrade their socket-370 and slot-1 systems--at least $50 for a bare chip. If you want a cheap upgrade, try buying a used socket A board for $25 and a used Athlon XP w/hsf for $25. It's more of a hassle to install, but it would be plenty faster than any PIII, even the 1.4.

If you can afford a little more, try this:
ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA
Sempron 64 3000+ "Manila"
512MB Wintec AMPO DDR2-800
$124 from Newegg
 
I looked at doing this years ago when I had just purchased my Athlon XP setup. Nowadays, you could pick up a dirt cheap 754 barebones for less money and better performance/features.

That said, I'm still using my PIII 550MHz system, baby AT form factor even! 440BX FTW
 
I looked when I was building my server - I had this great serverworks board that takes two of them and I wanted to get the max performance out of it - but I failed to find any. I would even have ordered from the US or Asia if I could have...

What I did find was two 1.13 Ghz 'PIII-S' tualatins with the extra cache. They're pretty fast as it is, and they should overclock well too, as they were made around the same time the 1.4s were being sold.

There never existed a Baby AT form factor 440BX chipset motherboard, only ATX.

Have you ever used Google? :laugh:

Yes and the P2BB motherboard from Asus was very unsuccessful in the market hence can't be said that the Baby AT format was alive and kicking in the 440BX days. Do remember the ATX standard was introduced in 1996.

 
So since it wasn't a big seller you can say it that it "never existed"?
How odd that you can still buy a P2B-B today. :roll:

It existed mostly on paper and sales weren't high. If you recall in 1998 the most popular enthusiast board was the 440BX Asus P2B, an ATX board. So one may argue it did exist but in business terms if was a side product to fill a very fine niche, not a product which would boost financial results.

Very few PCB manufacturers decided to make a Baby AT version as the market was small and so what if you had a AT case if you needed to buy a more powerful ATX PSU to power the system anyway. Most people just switched to ATX altogether.

You can by almost anything on eBay.

You like attention to detail yet probably haven't noticed we joined Anandtech on the exact same day all those years ago 🙂

We were members before 10/09/1999... remember?

Hmm so you're saying when moving to the newer server some years back now those who were already registered on Anandtech forums had their join date changed?

Probaby hard to find someone who is using or has recently bought an Asus P2B-B. ATX dominated the market almost instantly once launched which can't be said for BTX which is having a difficult birth.

Yep, everyone who were members of the old AT BBS got switched.
It caused a little uproar because some weren't sitched.
Can you imagine the AT forums having technical problems? :laugh:

Actually, I know that Soyo made them. I owned a couple. It had both ATX and AT power connectors.

Unfortunately, they were pieces of junk and both suffered early deaths from power transistor failure.

Thanks for sharing this information, I wasn't aware of this issue. What year did the server switch happen exactly? Anand hasn't written an article on the forum server for a good few years now...Was this in 2000 or 2002?

I joined either in 1998 or early 1999 but can't remember exactly, nearly a decade either way 🙂 I wonder what it will be like coming back here knowing we've been members of this forum for 25 years 🙂

Then what's this?

As I'm still using this board, I can personally attest to it's existence.

I have an SL657, the very last revision of the 1.4GHz Tualatins to be produced. It's installed in a D815EEA2U Motherboard with a single Crucial 512MB CAS2 D.I.M.M.


The Difference between the SL6C6 and the SL657 is that the SL6C6 is a celeron and the SL657 is the server version of the Tualatin PIII aka the PIIIS.

If you read my later post is clearly depicted that sales of Baby AT 440BX boards were marginal hence in casual talk it's OK to say it never existed.
