More Pentium 3 madness!

Tandyman100 · 05-07-2010, 02:33 PM

Okay, I finally got Need For Speed Pro Street installed on my 1GHz (overclocked, getting a 'real' 1GHz processor soon, maybe a 1.4GHz Tualatin) Pentium 3 Coppermine. It runs. Not only that, it's playable at about 9 FPS (yes, I consider this painful yet headache-inducing). Keep in mind that this is supposed to have a MINIMUM of a 3GHz single-core.

P.S. anyone know what would happen if I put a Tualatin core in a motherboard that isn't 'special' for the Tualatins?

first off, specs of your build, what kind of mobo do you have.

3x sticks of 256MB RAM
Pentium III Coppermine 866 (i think) @ 1000MHz
Asus P3B-F
GeForce something-or-another driving main monitor
ATi Radeon All-in-wonder with a 7200 chip driving secondary monitor
AVerMedia TV tuner
80GB HDD for programs and OS
40GB HDD for documents and media
DVD-RW drive
Black 3.5" Floppy Drive
Black case

Windows XP Professional SP3

The Asus P3B-F is based on the i440BX chipset. AKA THE BEST CHIPSET EVAR }:AAAA

could you do a liquid cooling, faster Ram, and a 1.6ghz clock with a 1ghz Pentium?

I overclocked my 1.73 Ghz Pentium M in my dad's Toughbook to 2Ghz, they run, pretty cold, i have to say...

Probably, if I could find a 1GHz Pentium Coppermine for a decent price, I'd probably try, but I hear they can't get past 1.1GHz.
