Very interesting, i actually never heard of these. I remember overclocking my Pentium MMX 233 to 266 Mhz back then but would have never thought that there is a 300Mhz Version albeit being fake.
Great video - good info without too much fluff. I have never seen these "golden boy"s but I think they're quite charming. The P5A-B is a great board - it was the only one that got me a a normal P5233MMX to run at 310mhz stable. using the 124mhz fsb option x 2.5(+working cache). Maybe give this bus speed a try if you're bored. The tillamook, supposedly, should function up to 400mhz, albeit it may be multiplier locked which kinda depresses its viability.
Wow memories. I remember buying a P5A-B brand new! Spending days upon days changing components and trying to over lock old processors. Nostalgia to the max!
Since this is a Super-7 board, I'd be interested in seeing how it did on a 100 MHz bus speed. The problem with Socket 7 CPUs is that they were limited by the L2 running at the speed of the motherboard, which is why the K6-III was such a powerhouse in its day with its full-speed on-die L2. I used to tell people that any K6-2 over 400 was useless because it was so I/O limited by the L2. The Tillamook was never meant to run at a 100 MHz bus, but I had a lot of luck with getting other Socket 7 chips never meant to run at 100 MHz bus to do it anyway.
Since almost all latter CPUs for socket7 (K6/M2/C6) was equipped with large 64K L1 cache (compared to 16K on first pentiums, k5s and cyrixes) it helps to neglect slow L2 cache. Some cheap later socket7 motherboards were released w/o L2 cache (and even w/o cache COAST slot) at all. Also do not forget that if latter super7 setup runs on 83/100MHs FSB speed with modern low latency SDRAM it provides a way more memory bandwidth (compared to old socket7 with 70ns EDO simms where L2 cache was a real need). BTW this setup in the video is already runs at 100MHz fsb speed (check 7:47 frame) :-)
Interesting. I didn't realize until now that in the German regionalization of Windows, the Recycle Bin is called the Paper Bin. Or, is papierkorb used colloquially for recycle bin as well?
9:44 why is the HUD at the bottom glitching out like that? it seems to be constantly flipping between what it should look like and what it previously looked like
Great content as usual! I'd like to have seen the difference between 66mhz and 100 mhz FSB -- both running the CPU at 300mhz. How close would this perform to a Pentium II? You said it runs cool. What about 350mhz? A clock for clock benchmark of Intel CPUs both running at 350mhz on 100 FSB would make one helluva a P55 vs P6 shootout video.
@@JoshVennix They did... Just few bothered trying and those who did didn't want to waste a nice mobo capable of much better. When I was a teenage collector/hoarder/scrapper I tested nearly every interesting CPU that came my way. Some Pentium 100's could be pushed as far as 83mhx FSB running on 3.4v and most laptop Pentiums had no problem running 100mhz FSB with a lesser multiplier.
I love China sometimes, when they make things the manufacturer won't. For example, you can find laptop BGA chips on PGA or LGA packages all day long on Alibaba. There are advantages to be had using a lower power laptop chip in a desktop form factor.
Also we're starting to see them make more and more actual quality products now. And they're way more open to things like open source hardware and software. E.g. if we look at the TS100 or TS80 portable USB-C soldering irons, they're better than pretty much anything else you can buy, yet are still super affordable. At ~£70 and only ~25W, it still works better than pretty much every full sized soldering station at this price, because of the integrated tip. You definitely would get a Western company making that type of product though, but what is great is that the firmware for the device is open source, and the hardware is very open as well, and they specifically used a more expensive microcontroller because it's more accessible to the hobby industry. Or we can look at something like Sonoff smart devices. While pretty much all Western manufacturers are trying to lock you into the device and make it hard to modify, Sonoff instead adapted to the community and has built in support to flash the device to any firmware you want OTA. Good luck getting a US/EU manufacturer to not only allow you to flash the firmware to something else, but to build in support to directly allow you to do it. Instead they're doing the opposite and signing their firmwares to prevent you flashing yours. China only tends to focus on the lowest common denominator because of market forces, not because they're crap. But that's slowly changing and we're seeing more and more high quality products from them. Unfortunetly I still try to avoid as many Chinese products as I can because it's still supporting the CCP, and while I like the people of China and their ingenuity, I hate the CCP.
I'm using an AMD A6-8750e PRO cpu which is a Carizzo dual core mobile processor built into a Desktop ceramic package for the AM4 socket. Only needs 35watts and I plan on running at lowest voltage/watts possible after lots of testing. It's an 'unverified' CPU (not supported by motherboard manufacturers) yet it runs fine in my Gigabyte A320M-H motherboard and and an old BIOS version and with 32GB of DDR4 RAM.
I am experimenting with running a standard Pentium MMX 233Mhz at 100Mhz bus with 3x multiplier. Therefore running at 300Mhz. It, so far, seems to be running stable at the stock 2.8V and the heatsink is cool to touch.
Just to follow up I did get random crashes in windows. Though not frequently. At 2.9V the crashes stopped but occasionally I would get graphical corruption when rendering fonts. They would just appear as dots instead of text. Now I am running it at 3.0v and it is fully stable. I seem to get a slightly higher CPU score than you also. But that may be due to RAM timings.
Holy nostalgia I remember this board. My first PC loadout used the P5A-B as its back end. Intel Pentium 233 MMX, Asus P5A-B, 2x32MB PC-100, ATi Rage XL 8MB AGP and a Creative AWE64 ISA all with some 545MB Seagate ST3660A and some dialup modem. Test Drive 5, Septerra Core, TA Kingdoms, Oni, XSG, Subspace Continuum and whatever Japanese DOS games were my favorites on that system but the lack of storage and decent GPU capabilities made it a stuttering nightmare. By the time I was hosting .NET stuff I had upgraded it to the best of my abilities but had to get rid of it as it was a constant maintenance nightmare. I sure do miss the DOS games though. Hold onto these older systems if you can. They're not going anywhere and it's starting to make sense to continue using them as independent game compatibility client boxes. Just be sure to add a NIC and some USB capabilities and it's solid.
I have a genuine Tillamook 266 chip that Intel provided for some lower power machines. With the suitable mods, it works great in a 430TX based board at 300MHz (4*75MHz). A nice boost for sure; Carmageddon II is pretty much playable which isn't really something that can be said for the 233 MMX which was the fastest official Socket 7 chip.
I remember my first overclock was with a 200mhz Pentium chip. It wasn't easy and I think I managed a whole 25mhz overclock but it was great man. Then celeron overclocking like the 300a and 500PIII. Fun times.
A great video! I don't know what happen to my comment? Must have gotten deleted. But here it goes again. Actually I have the same board. Great motherboard! I have the AMD K6-3 550 MHZ CPU with 384MB of Ram. You can still find this same motherboard on Ebay. But the prices are through the roof.
Hi. Great video 👍 Did you get the board to post with the original 266mhz tillamook cpu without modifying the cpu ? I cant get my p5a-b to post witb my 266mhz tillamook even with the modifications. My friend tested the cpu and it works on his board of a different brand.
I used the same motherboard for ages in my Linux workstation, with an AMD processor though. I don't recall the exact processor model. I think I had 512M of RAM in the computer.
I had 550MHz AMD K6-2 running win xp. I ended up killing it messing around with overclocking and the only socket 7 I had was a P120. It did actually run xp more or less, but took a stupid amount of time to boot.
Yes he says "Intel" and it's compatible with old socket 7 boards, which is not the case of the K6-3. The K6-3 is not to be compared with the Pentium MMX, it's the PII generation. And the PII is faster.
my amiga 1200 technically has more ram lol. i've got a 128mb stick on the dkb cobra accelerator card in it. 28mhz 68030 lol. thats in addition to the ram on board
The ordinary SL2Z4 aka Tillamook 266 uses 1.9v Vcore. So i am assuming they used exactly this core and gave it a multiplier of 4.5 internally, rerouted the L2-Cache traces to have a working L2 Cache and set the Vcore to 2.0 Volts. Hehe. I would not be surprised. But surprised i am about the ASUS P5A-B that it boots the fake chip there and runs with it so well and stable incl L2 Cache since it doesnt even perform a POST with the regular SL2Z4 266Mhz...... we must talk buddy :D
Could be interessing if you can put this wonderful CPU on an 100 MHz FSB (or 110 even as you told in the video). It's the multiplier unlocked in the down way? I think this CPU can go much better
On Vogons there is a thread "Tillamook 266MHz and working L2 cache" interesting... Tx97 & CUSL2-C maxxed it out back then! However, Pentium MMX Mobile was not a fake and did 300Mhz!
Those Tillamook are amazing for what they are, i have the 266 one, and it runs up to 400 Mhz without too much voltage or heat. But they are a PMMX anyway, any K6-2 or 3 is much faster.
@@Romerco77 Yeah, that's right. I got the message Robert, but it kind of depends on what games are we talking about. F.e Quake(floating point intensive), I've found that despite the clock speed gap between an 83.3x3.5 MMX and a k6-II 450 running at 100fsb there's pretty much a difference of 1 fps in between. Now, taking about K6-3? no contest.
@@Romerco77 By the way, is your 266 a modded Tillamook just like the one on this video, or is an "Embedded" PMMX with the traditional plastic packaging of normal chips? Also, is it working with the onboard L2 cache enabled? Thanks, mate.
@@extalia Well, i think it may depend greatly on the motherboard/chipset, i use a k6-2 ready motherboard, and it enables northbridge features in bios for the K6-2, like write combining and posted write, which makes games like Quake run twice as fast compared to the tillamook at any speed. I have also observed the Tillamook does not scale well with clockspeed, beyond 300Mhz the increase in performance starts to get lower per Mhz. My Tillamook does not look like the ones in the video, mine looks like a standard PMMX 233 with black plastic housing, L2 cache works perfectly, but there is a mod which can be done to the cpu for motherboards having problems enabling L2 with it.
Interesting. Your version of PC Player doesn't glitch with with the ET6000 like mine does. I'd be intersting in knowing how this performs on a slightly better graphics setup, where we know the card isn't bottle-necking the CPU.
Hallo, darf ich kurz off-topic fragen zur ebenfalls in diesem Video gezeigten 266MHz Mobile-CPU? Die dürfte ja Pin-Kompatibel zu den normalen Pentium MMX Prozessoren sein, oder? Auf Grund der niedrigen VCore habe ich mich nie getraut die in einem normalen Sockel 7 Board zu testen aber wäre es möglich die in einem Super Sockel 7 Board gefahrlos zu betreiben? Und wie erkennt man eigentlich Super Sockel 7 Boards? Nur indem man die kompatiblen CPUs nachschlägt oder gibt es auch durch reines Anschauen des Boards eindeutige Indikatoren, daß es kein normalen Sockel 7 Board ist? Viele Grüße (:
@@CPUGalaxy Oh das ist sehr gut zu wissen ... Danke für die schnelle Antwort. Dann habe ich sogar eins in meinem Bestand (: Und dort kann man dann auch die Mobile CPU drauf nutzen wenn man dort nur die Spannung auf 1,9V einstellt oder gibt es da noch etwas anderes zu beachten?
@@CPUGalaxy thanks for the video BTW I remember that AMD K6 2 above 300MHz had an issue on Windows 95 (Windows protection Error) despite that on the fucking CPU there was "Designed for Windows 95" hahah LoL Microsoft even released a FIX for this, but the patch can be applied only from Windows not in DOS WTF microsoft?! So you had to boot Windows 95 with other CPU (AMD lower then 300MHz or Intel one) then apply the patch then put the K6 2 CPU again :D haha Windows 98 was fixed out of the box :)
@@CPUGalaxy haha I was pissed of back in a day when I discovered this issue this is a reason I hate AMD CPUs, but this is more Windows fault , like now I have 2 CPU Xeon server configuration and me CPUs are identical only the stepping are mismatch and stupid Windows 7 x64 and above can not use the 2 CPUs gime mi BSOD and I have to limit the system to use only one of the 2 CPUs! (only XP and 7 x86 have no problems with mismatched stepping on multiprocessor systems ) Linux x86 and x64 have no issues too . WTF Microsoft ?!
900MHz on these CPUs is going to be *much* slower than 900MHz on a modern CPU. The architectural differences alone are *huuuge*, not to mention things like memory.
Intel held the Tillamook 266 mHz in the PGA package back for desktop applications so it would not undercut sales of the early PII and only later made it available for embedded applications. They effectively banned the mainboard manufacturers from providing BIOS and board support for it. It was faster than the Pentium II 266 mHz because of the cache coherency issue with the early PII. Somewhat embarrassing that the old gen was faster than the new for a while. I would not call that 300 mHz CPU a fake, per se, but rather an "upgrade processor" in the long tradition of such things for stretching the useful life of a PC. They did certainly violate the Intel IP rights with the gold colored lid with the Intel trademark. What BIOS is installed on the P5A-B? Is it a "beta" or hacked version? I have many Socket 7 mainboards including an Asus P5A and none will properly recognize and initialize the 266 mHz Tillamook CPU. Most will run it at 233 mHz or other speeds okay.
Essentially what would have happened if Intel never abandoned the socket design to switch to the slot 1 architecture for the pentium 2. This is essentially a Pentium II on a old socket.
Interesting test, game performance explains why I've never been a fan of that era of CPUs... It's too fast for older DOS games, where a down-clocked 486 excels, while some games targeted to this era are much better running on a P2 or P3.
@@dallesamllhals9161 good video. Dell Optiplex machines actually have a software function that does some of this CPU speed adjustment automatically. If you toggle Ctrl>
Definitely keep some Chinese Pentium MMX processor (TCP on Socket 7 adapter, exactly like the one you have), as some could be a decent overclocking CPU as the metal heatslug actually do better job removing the heat from the CPU than the ceramic package would, meaning 400 to 500 MHz overclocking could be possible. I would be surprised if it runs stably at 500 MHz with peltier cooling. I would like to try that, actually. Too bad those CPUs are hard to find now.
So a long while back, I was at a flea market, and there was a really shady guy that had piles of CPUs he was selling for very little money. I got a handful of Pentium 2, 3, and 4 "Intel Confidential" processors from him for $5-10 each. And then I saw one of these in a display case on his sales table. I offered him $25, but he laughed at me. He said it was a "rare prototype" that he said he got from an Intel employee. He wanted $200 for it. I told him that it was a repackaged laptop processor, and he wouldn't let me buy anything else at his table. Ah well. Some day...
Well it kicks my Threadripper's Ass when it comes to boot time. It's booted up to desktop before my 16-core powerhouse even turns the monitor's power LED from orange to white. lol

So i am assuming they used exactly this core and gave it a multiplier of 4.5 internally, rerouted the L2-Cache traces to have a working L2 Cache and set the Vcore to 2.0 Volts. Hehe. I would not be surprised. But surprised i am about the ASUS P5A-B that it boots the fake chip there and runs with it so well and stable incl L2 Cache since it doesnt even perform a POST with the regular SL2Z4 266Mhz...... we must talk buddy :D
exactly what I said in the video. I think the same...
@@CPUGalaxy i wrote my comment while watching at the beginning lol
Whats the specific pin mod needed cause i would like to test my 266 tillamook on my p5a-b as well.
@@joselemusjr6451 Does not POST on a P5A-B. You need another board for that. Here is a link with info: www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=30499
In the video he was using 3x multi and 100 fsb
But 4x does absolutely exist on tillamook.
I have been personally unable to confirm 4.5x though.
Great video, love it
Which processors are installed on the socket 7??
Viele Grüße nach Österreich 👍
Danke ☺️
Fastest cpu for Intels (Super) Socket 7 platform is the AMD k6-3 550Mhz.
Can't be! I had a K6-500, it was slower than a 300Mhz intel?
Did you have the same setup on the rest of it? Even the OS?
How hard are to find Pentium MMX 266 (SL2Z4)?
they are quiet rare but you can find them on ebay. Just search for Intel SL2Z4
Could be interessing if you can put this wonderful CPU on an 100 MHz FSB (or 110 even as you told in the video). It's the multiplier unlocked in the down way? I think this CPU can go much better
a P2 300 commercially modded into a socket7 package?
On Vogons there is a thread "Tillamook 266MHz and working L2 cache" interesting...
Tx97 & CUSL2-C maxxed it out back then!
However, Pentium MMX Mobile was not a fake and did 300Mhz!
Tillamook, great cheese.
Btw, you said it better than most Americans.
Those Tillamook are amazing for what they are, i have the 266 one, and it runs up to 400 Mhz without too much voltage or heat. But they are a PMMX anyway, any K6-2 or 3 is much faster.
In relation to their base clocks, FPoint is faster on MMX cpus
@@extalia I was talking in relation to plain and simple performance in games and apps ;)
@@Romerco77 Yeah, that's right. I got the message Robert, but it kind of depends on what games are we talking about. F.e Quake(floating point intensive), I've found that despite the clock speed gap between an 83.3x3.5 MMX and a k6-II 450 running at 100fsb there's pretty much a difference of 1 fps in between. Now, taking about K6-3? no contest.
@@Romerco77 By the way, is your 266 a modded Tillamook just like the one on this video, or is an "Embedded" PMMX with the traditional plastic packaging of normal chips? Also, is it working with the onboard L2 cache enabled? Thanks, mate.
@@extalia Well, i think it may depend greatly on the motherboard/chipset, i use a k6-2 ready motherboard, and it enables northbridge features in bios for the K6-2, like write combining and posted write, which makes games like Quake run twice as fast compared to the tillamook at any speed. I have also observed the Tillamook does not scale well with clockspeed, beyond 300Mhz the increase in performance starts to get lower per Mhz. My Tillamook does not look like the ones in the video, mine looks like a standard PMMX 233 with black plastic housing, L2 cache works perfectly, but there is a mod which can be done to the cpu for motherboards having problems enabling L2 with it.
Where to get one of these? :D nothing on aliexpress or ebay
..und AMD? K6-III 400MHz AHX (classic Socket 7 - INTEL 430TX - IWILL P55XB2 VER 1.21)
Interesting. Your version of PC Player doesn't glitch with with the ET6000 like mine does.
I'd be intersting in knowing how this performs on a slightly better graphics setup, where we know the card isn't bottle-necking the CPU.
thx a lot
Board has AGP, lets use PCI?????
Hmm, vs a K6-III 400MHz?
How many RAM will the board support? Could you try Win 7 install?
Hallo, darf ich kurz off-topic fragen zur ebenfalls in diesem Video gezeigten 266MHz Mobile-CPU? Die dürfte ja Pin-Kompatibel zu den normalen Pentium MMX Prozessoren sein, oder? Auf Grund der niedrigen VCore habe ich mich nie getraut die in einem normalen Sockel 7 Board zu testen aber wäre es möglich die in einem Super Sockel 7 Board gefahrlos zu betreiben? Und wie erkennt man eigentlich Super Sockel 7 Boards? Nur indem man die kompatiblen CPUs nachschlägt oder gibt es auch durch reines Anschauen des Boards eindeutige Indikatoren, daß es kein normalen Sockel 7 Board ist? Viele Grüße (:
Hi. eindeutiger Indikator für Super Socket 7 Boards ist das Vorhandensein eines AGP Steckplatzes. LG
@@CPUGalaxy Oh das ist sehr gut zu wissen ... Danke für die schnelle Antwort. Dann habe ich sogar eins in meinem Bestand (: Und dort kann man dann auch die Mobile CPU drauf nutzen wenn man dort nur die Spannung auf 1,9V einstellt oder gibt es da noch etwas anderes zu beachten?
Test transmeta proccessor
nice video of this rare cpu! are this cpu's still availble?
those are very hard to get. Sometimes they appear on ebay from collectors.

I would like to get one of these to replace my 166MMx. I guess I will have to set for 233MHz and then maybe OC it a little.
Wow I never know the Intel made 300MHz mobile version. Cns you compare this China Intel Vs AMD K6 2 300MHz to see who is better :D
Great Idea! thanks for your input.
@@CPUGalaxy thanks for the video BTW I remember that AMD K6 2 above 300MHz had an issue on Windows 95 (Windows protection Error) despite that on the fucking CPU there was "Designed for Windows 95" hahah LoL Microsoft even released a FIX for this, but the patch can be applied only from Windows not in DOS WTF microsoft?! So you had to boot Windows 95 with other CPU (AMD lower then 300MHz or Intel one) then apply the patch then put the K6 2 CPU again :D haha
Windows 98 was fixed out of the box :)
Haha, I did not know that. How crazy is that.
@@CPUGalaxy haha I was pissed of back in a day when I discovered this issue this is a reason I hate AMD CPUs, but this is more Windows fault , like now I have 2 CPU Xeon server configuration and me CPUs are identical only the stepping are mismatch and stupid Windows 7 x64 and above can not use the 2 CPUs gime mi BSOD and I have to limit the system to use only one of the 2 CPUs! (only XP and 7 x86 have no problems with mismatched stepping on multiprocessor systems ) Linux x86 and x64 have no issues too . WTF Microsoft ?!
@@intel386DX well, it took Microsoft some years to make Windows optimized for Ryzen, so, some things don't change :)
How'd you get the CPU off of the MMC-1?
You can run Windows 10 on just 900 MHz of CPU speed
900MHz on these CPUs is going to be *much* slower than 900MHz on a modern CPU. The architectural differences alone are *huuuge*, not to mention things like memory.
Ali and SIS chipset is very slowly.
7:54 - what is that for program?
This program is called Speedsys
warrax111 yeah, this program is a very good choice to do this checks. 👍🏻
Intel held the Tillamook 266 mHz in the PGA package back for desktop applications so it would not undercut sales of the early PII and only later made it available for embedded applications. They effectively banned the mainboard manufacturers from providing BIOS and board support for it. It was faster than the Pentium II 266 mHz because of the cache coherency issue with the early PII. Somewhat embarrassing that the old gen was faster than the new for a while. I would not call that 300 mHz CPU a fake, per se, but rather an "upgrade processor" in the long tradition of such things for stretching the useful life of a PC. They did certainly violate the Intel IP rights with the gold colored lid with the Intel trademark. What BIOS is installed on the P5A-B? Is it a "beta" or hacked version? I have many Socket 7 mainboards including an Asus P5A and none will properly recognize and initialize the 266 mHz Tillamook CPU. Most will run it at 233 mHz or other speeds okay.
thats amazing
You should try some old emulators like Nesticle, ZSNES and similar ones.
I had zsnes on my celeon 700 laptop (still do) But I coudln't use any grafical filter and had to go max 640x480 res. Else it would go sluggish.
The nvme ssd in my pc is like 5 times faster than my the level 1 cache of this cpu!!
the cache may still have advantages when it comes to access times which are measured in nanoseconds. whereas NAND flash is in the microseconds range.

You make my day)

Essentially what would have happened if Intel never abandoned the socket design to switch to the slot 1 architecture for the pentium 2.
This is essentially a Pentium II on a old socket.
Interesting test, game performance explains why I've never been a fan of that era of CPUs... It's too fast for older DOS games, where a down-clocked 486 excels, while some games targeted to this era are much better running on a P2 or P3.
Have you seen Phil's Computer LabsAMD K6-III+ beast?

@@dallesamllhals9161 good video. Dell Optiplex machines actually have a software function that does some of this CPU speed adjustment automatically. If you toggle Ctrl>
It's awesome in many ways. It looks good, it's 300mhz, it was made in China, it's fake but its core is Intel and it works! 👍
great comment!
didnt the voodoo 2 have 12meg of ram on it mine has
There were also some with 8 MB
11:25 Huh.. Motorstorm's predecessor 😄
Definitely keep some Chinese Pentium MMX processor (TCP on Socket 7 adapter, exactly like the one you have), as some could be a decent overclocking CPU as the metal heatslug actually do better job removing the heat from the CPU than the ceramic package would, meaning 400 to 500 MHz overclocking could be possible. I would be surprised if it runs stably at 500 MHz with peltier cooling. I would like to try that, actually. Too bad those CPUs are hard to find now.
i didnt know a 266mhz version exsisted thought 233mhz was the fatest
just google Intel Tillamook. That is the core name of the last Pentium 1 generation.
How does it compare to a K6-2 running on the same speed? (4,5 * 66)
I think it is about on par. But a 3/2+/3+ is a little faster at the same speed I believe.
You are the arnold schwarzenegger of tech buddy lol.
Not really a fake is it? More an unauthorized release.
yeah. of course you can call it that as well
So a long while back, I was at a flea market, and there was a really shady guy that had piles of CPUs he was selling for very little money. I got a handful of Pentium 2, 3, and 4 "Intel Confidential" processors from him for $5-10 each. And then I saw one of these in a display case on his sales table. I offered him $25, but he laughed at me. He said it was a "rare prototype" that he said he got from an Intel employee. He wanted $200 for it. I told him that it was a repackaged laptop processor, and he wouldn't let me buy anything else at his table. Ah well. Some day...
If you ever run across the guy again give him my info. I might make him a deal for it.
What a collection... ⁽⁾o⁽⁾
Where can i get one of those CPUs?

So this CPU is one of the early examples of taking a laptop CPU and putting it on the desktop. AMD does that to this day with its APU's
But can it run Crysis ? ;p
Wow, you got Unreal to run on a Pentium 1 without hiccups? That is crazy.
well its P1 with MMX at 300 not to surprised really as Unreal will run on K6-2 300 with no issues again this is if you use a Voodoo card with them
Fake?
You can run windows xp i guess
Actually I have this same motherboard. Yes, I have ran Windows XP Home Edition on it.
W2K runs better.
Well it kicks my Threadripper's Ass when it comes to boot time. It's booted up to desktop before my 16-core powerhouse even turns the monitor's power LED from orange to white. lol
