P2 dual mobo help

edited July 2003 in Hardware
i found a TYAN S1832D and its a dual pentium2 mobo and theres only one of the two cpus so do i just get another 400mhz cpu?

and the manual said that it supports any SLOT 1 cpu with 100fsb so could i put a pentium3 1ghz with 100fsb in?

in the picture it says supports 100/133fsb but in the text it says only 66/100fsb:confused:

    I clicked your link and the text seems to differ from the picture in many places. If you believe your link, there must have been a revision on this board as the IDE spec is different and the memory support is different, etc. I've got an 1834D with the Via chipset and it runs at 133 FSB and has ATA 100 ide ports on it although mine's got Ultra2 SCSI drives running on it. I do know that the good old BX chipset wasn't able to go 133 Mhz FSB in spec, but that didn't mean you couldn't OC it and have some fun....I just don't know.

    Good Luck,

    S!

    the only fsb options i have is 66 70 75 80ish 87ish 93his 100 103 112fsb and there are no multy options on the mobo.

    isnt there something called goldfingers or something that helps you overclock you p2?

    You need two matching cpu's. Another option is to get a slocket. These are converters that go into a slot one socket and they have socket 370's on them. So you could get say... two 1ghz celeron coppermine's and slap them on slocket converters. The ighz celerons and a slocket would ru8n ya maybe 40 bucks or so a pop right now on ebay.

    i would do that but since theres no info on this mobo.
    all i know about this mobo is that it only supports pc100.
    right now i have a p2 300mhz and a p2 450mhz and it reads it as 2X500 because when i boot the mobo it says cpu1=500mhz and cpu2=500mhz i have no idea how this happend but it works and is fully stable. cpu1=34C and cpu2=28C. and in the bios i can only go up to 112fsb so i can only get CPU's with 66mhz fsb or 100mhz fsb.

    Strange. Benchmark it and see what they say?

    Here are the CPUs that the Tiger motherboard which you have supports, per Tyan:

    Tiger 100
    S1832
    Celeron up to 466** - single
    PII 233-450 *
    PIII 100 FSB 450-600
    PIII (Coppermine)600-850 (Rev. F and later only )

    Link to table with notes to go with asterisks at bottom:

    I have never seen a celeron or coppermine anything that was slot 1?? How weird.

    Its a lot cheaper to get a socket 370 cpu and a slocket.

    Hey Tex, I've got 2-PIII Coppermine 733's @133 FSB running on my board and they're both slot 1's. Got them a while ago, they're EB's, I think they were called. I also had an PIII 866EB that was a 133 FSB processor, also a slot 1, gave that one away though.

    True, ebay is good. Pricewatch's "not so new" area might also yield some sources. One OTHER thing about that table-- the Tiger we are talking about was in the boards without socket 370 support section, and that makes me wonder about core voltage limitations (which is one of core reasons slockets with socket 370 packaged CPUs do not always work).

    I would price both, if close once two slockets and CPUS are priced versus another slot 1 of same speed as you have, would get the slot 1. Remember, even if you get slockets you will need appropriate fans and heat sinks.

    i got the 2 cpu's to run at 650X2= 1.3ghz at 25C idle
    now all i need is a hard drive, what should i do with it

    im feeling the power;)

    is this what your talking about?

    i dont think i need one since im at 1.3ghz and the highest multy is 6X.

    Tex,
    I bought those well over a year ago with no intention of causing you any heartburn!! You'll notice in one of my posts above I also say it's running SCSI2. That shows it's age as you and I have been playing with this U160 for quite a whaile now!! If I find any, you know I'll ship them to ya!

    S!

    Yes, that is the kind of slocket if you decide to get two of them (please if you can match CPUs, your operating system will operate better).

    40 GB WD Caviar is what I would try for HD, myself.

    if i get the hard drive what would i do with the computer?

    this is what is in the computer right now
    cpu1 is at 650mhz(pentium2)
    cpu2 is at 650mhz(pentium2)
    512mb of pc100@112mhz
    geforce3 ti200
    32xcdrom

    would i notice the difference between the pentium2@650 and the pentium3@600?

    Only with floating point stuff, games, video intense stuff that uses DirectX,and vector drawings would the PIII be better at a slower speed than your PIIs.

    ok ill try to find some pentium3's with 512 of cache.

    i found some money and got aDiamondmax Plus9 60gb 7200rpm ata133 2mb of cache and is made by maxtor, got it for 50dollars at office depot.
