Difference between a 'socket 370' CPU vs a 'slot 1' CPU?
Hi there;
Can someone explain to me the difference between a 'socket 370' CPU vs a 'slot 1' CPU? The reason I'm asking is that I want to upgrade my CPU from Pent2 to Pent3 450 MHZ (on an Asus P3B-F motherboard). Whilst searching the net for info, I read that I can upgrade to an even higher MHZ if I use an adapter -I am assuming that I would then be looking for a 'socket 370' CPU because they seem to have higher MHZ. .....Thanks.......Theresa |

Slot 1 is a card-like device, the CPU sits on a small rectangular board and
it plugs into the motherboard on a card edge, like a video card or sound card. There is a specific slot just for the CPU. Socket370 is a pinned CPU. It has 370 pins sticking out the bottom, and it plugs into a socket on the motherboard with 370 holes. While an adapter would let you plug as socket370 CPU into a Slot1 board, the board would need to understand the speed of the CPU being used. -SSZ |

The Tualatin runs at 1.5V. P3b-f's lowest voltage is 1.8v. Is this
safe or possible to run? Spajky wrote in message . .. On Thu, 28 Aug 2003 03:13:31 GMT, (theresa) wrote: Can someone explain to me the difference between a 'socket 370' CPU vs a 'slot 1' CPU?

Slot1 is practically like s370 on Slotket adapter. Get a Celeron Tualatin & Slot-T (strattoncomputers.com) if you can & you are done! -- Regards, SPAJKY & visit - http://www.spajky.iscyber.com Celly-III OC-ed,"Tualatin on BX-Slot1-MoBo!"

IMHO that board has a newer voltage regulator & can go lower than 1,8Vcore (but I am not shure!) check the compatibility list on upgradeware.com ... for Slot-T -- Regards, SPAJKY & visit - http://www.spajky.iscyber.com Celly-III OC-ed,"Tualatin on BX-Slot1-MoBo!"
