Hello,

I am an ASUS P3B-F owner. Currently I am running this board with a PIII 500 Mhz. I want to update this board to the maximum possible CPU speed. As I am technical but not a PC-specialist I would like to have your 'expert' advise.

So I have checked the bios >> currently 1006 : I have to update this to 1008.004 ; no problem for me

I have checked the revision of this board ; it is 1.04

So normally it must be possible to install a 1 Ghz CPU. (see also : https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic19911.html)

My questions are :

Is this CPU still available on the market ? Prduct nr ? Website?

If I can find such a slot 1 1Ghz CPU ; which other parameters should I verify before I buy it ?

It should be also possible to work with an adapter board to 370 and to install another type of CPU. What are the (dis)advantages ? Limitations ?

Can maybe somebody help me with partnumbers ?

If somebody did already such an upgrade ; please let me know if you were succesful.

Many thanks to you all !!

Power Leap has a 1.2ghz celeron for most slot 1 mobos. You may be able to find 1.4ghz, but it's rare.

This is a socket 370 adapter with a cpu for $119

I've look at it, it's just for a little more money you can do much better with a new mobo, cpu, and ram.

Hello,

Many thanks for your advise. I have bought from www.abgcomputers.nl an upgrade with an Intel Celeron 1300Mhz Tualatin CPU. My motherboard is an asus P3B-F 1.04 with bios 1008.004. My PC (previous PIII 500 Mhz) starts now with the message PII 1200 MHZ. When I verify with windows booted it is an PIII 1300 Mhz. How can I correct the message in my bios ?

Many thanks for your help !

Pieter.
 
I don't know. You need a BIOS that supports that CPU, and none do. Hay if it works...

I had one of those mobos, I fried it.
