socket 370 = slot 1?

[captains]

looking to buy a p3 1G processor as a replacement for my p3 800 slot 1...question is.....is a socket 370 a slot 1 being that new egg only has a socket 370 and no search option for a slot 1


update/new problem.......i recieved my slocket and processor, slapped in the computer and i cant get it to work....if i get into bios i'm lucky then after that i just keeps rebooting.....can someone steer me in the right direction.

Slot 1 cpus were essentially a cartridge that fit onto the motherboard. They were "blade" processors. Socket 370 cpus are like the packaging you see today (PPGA). You can, however, run a socket 370 cpu on a slot motherboard by using a "slocket" which monuts the 370 cpu onto a slot 1 cartridge. You can probably find them on the for sale forum or a good retailer.

no , the are totally different things , one is a slot, one is a socket. if i were you i would got to upgradeware.com and looke at there slockets, they are slot 1 to socket 370 adapters and then get a celeron tualitun 1.2 or higher to go in that system

A socket 370 is a socket 370. Same for Slot 1. It means that newegg doesn't sell them.

What you'd be looking for is a P3 1GHz Slot 1 with 100 FSB. You can find P3 1GHz Slot 1s but with 133 FSB.

There was a limited run of those made for Intel server boards.

i have an abit be6 II rev 2 and an p3 800EB........it keeps rebooting after 5 min....put the p3 on another board and same thing so i'm lookin for the p3 1G. Thanx for the help hopefully i can get this thing up and goin again

Check the AT For Sale forum. Make a "Wanted to Buy" thread if you can't find what you are looking for using the search feature.

If I were you I'd get a Slot-T adapter from Upgradeware and buy a Celeron 1.4 GHz. It's 40% faster than your PIII 1 GHz with 100 MHZ FSB (which are impossible to find now), and it Upgradeware says it works in the BE6-II.

Slot-T adapter $20 (They also sell the Celeron 1.4 for $60, but you can get it for ~$50 elsewhere.)

Agree. Only things is, it is hard to find the 1.4s now. You may have to get a 1.3. In either case, it is a better CPU then the 1G,

You are running an 800EB on a BX board. That is 133 FSB. Your AGP is way out of spec @ 89 MHz. PCI should be OK as long as you are using the 1/4 divider. not 1/3.

^ great suggestion, the Tualatin celerons were great CPUs for their time, nothing like the old 66 MHz cellys or the lousy P4-celerons out now.

be6 II rev 2 only supports up to celeron 1.1G or p3 1G



doesnt support Tualatin core P!!!/Celeron processors either

With the Slot-T, the BE6-II indeed does.

I am running a Celeron 1.4 Tualatin on my old Asus P2B at home using a Slot-T, and that board doesn't natively support Tualatin either.

Both the Abit BE6-II and the Asus P2B use the BX chipset.

 

[oldfart]

Ignore that. It works. I've used them in several boards that don't officially support them. Check the Upgradeware site for compatibility HERE

cool.....you guys are life/money savers!!! thanx much

AH! Slotket adapters! You're bringing back very bad memories. Those things aren't the greatest...
anyway, for any money spent on such an incremental upgrade, I would recoemmend picking up a cheap ASUS board and Athlon XP for little if any more.

 

[oldfart]

I've used CuMine and Tually Slocket setups many times and never had a problem with them. My Linux server is running with a CuMine Celly 1G Slocket, I have 3 friends that I did upgrades for that are running Tually 1.4s. One is an Abit BH6, the other two are Asus P3B-F. They work perfectly. My sisters PC is an old BX6 with a C900 and a Slocket. My wifes friend has a P3B-F with a Celly C1.1 in a Slocket. There are more I've set up that dont spring to mind. They work fine.

I have a ton of slockets. If you cannot find one PM me and I will send you one.

Bleep

Have you ever seen a Slot-T? It's actually nicely made. It's not like the cheap no-name slockets you find in the local hole-in-the-wall shop. Not that it matters anyway, since those cheap no-name slockets generally don't support Tualatin on BX anyway.

Plus, buying a CPU and Slot-T upgrade for $70 seems like a better deal than spending $200+ on a new CPU, motherboard, and memory, ripping your case apart for a new mobo, and then having to reinstall the OS and all of your software. Time is money.

Swapping in a Slot-T CPU takes all of 5 minutes.

the abit slotket i used back in the day was solid, especially considering the abuse i gave it (silicone everywhere, peltier coolers, giant heatsinks hanging off it, constantly being swapped in and out).

i finially got it to boot passed the bios then it crashed before it got to windows.....i put the processor as a p3 375B
what should i do if i can ever get this thing back to bios
