P3 Tulatan Socket

Could I put one of these in my socket 370 FC-PGA1?

Possibly with one of these.
Without it, no. Tualatins won't work with the original FCPGA socket because some of the pin wiring is different.

WOW! Thank you so much! This is a big help! Now the trick is to find a fan/heatsink for this cpu.

Actually, if you break off the right pins and use conductive paint to connect some other pins, you can make a Tualatin work on older boards. I had a Tualatin Celeron 1.2GHz running on my Abit BX133-RAID without any adaptor. 😀

As for HSF, just about any cheap unit will work. The cheapest $5 fan available now is almost as good as expensive fans from back when socket 370 was king. Yes, I've purchased an Alpha PEP66. I know what I'm talking about.

As above......if you're handy and steady you can volt mod it or else find an adaptor which has the circuitry to lower the voltage to tualitan numbers.

Great cpu, hard to find motherboards though but adaptors are around. I have one, Lin Lin brand, and have run about 5 different tualitan celerons, great little overclockers. My daughter's 1100 had been at 1466 and stock voltage for over 2 years.

Any socket 370 or A hs/fan will do the job, not a hot running chip at all.

I ah a MSI-694T that, with the most recent bios ran the Tualatins without any mods. I had earlier had a P3-700 on it. Also overclocked quite nicely.

Me too. Pull 3 pins, connect 3 others, and drop in a BX-133R. Ran a 1.2 at 12x125 then got a 1.0 to run at 10x150. It was faster than alot of athlon systems at the time even with the SDRAM.

Links to instructions? Thanks 🙂

Lots of good reading here.

For the instructions go here:

FPGA2 CPU adapter and on the very buttom there is a link to the reviews. Look for the reviews by Eric Chan. He posted the instructions for the jumper settings of this Tualatin adapter.
