Hey gonzo. On that CPUFSB, does the shareware version work OK or should you buy the registered one?
gonzo90017:
Try the shareware first to make sure it works with your motherboard. If it works buy it since the shareware version doesn't save your settings so you would have to set it up every time. Also one very annoying thing about it is that there seems to be no way to make the program start minimized. The only way is to force it. Here's how it's done. Create a shortcut of CPUFSB then right click on it and select properties. Under Run select minimized then click on apply and then ok. This also works with any other program!

Well yes, or maybe not. You might get lucky.. I bought an old motherboard for 5 Euros with both the Celeron (PPGA something?) and Pentium 3 (SLOT 1) sockets ..and it even had a working Celeron 500MHZ installed already!

Now, that wasn't what I had in mind -so I bought a slot 1 500MHz Pentium 3 processor for another 5 EUR. And these both I found at a local computer stores within two weeks.

It'll depend on where and when you're searching/buying the stuff..

Good luck!

When I was thinking about it (before I looked at my mobo manual, see above),
I found a few on Ebay... search for "pentium 3 slot 1" or "pentium iii slot 1"

(O/T):  Did a little more work on my cab today (vs the pc) made some
slot cutting errors, a bit of a drawback.  Time to go back to the
hw store for some bondo ... sigh.  Would just like to get more
than my mockup playable.

Ya, I got a long moment of inspiration to make, at least, a case for my monitor, then ran out of steam cos what I'd really like is something like this Gauntless panel is made out of. (The monitor case looks cool, too, but totally contrasts with the rest of the cab. Square.)
