Testing 12 Slot-1 CPUs!

- I've been busy collecting CPUs for my Slot-1 Retro Build Guide, and in this video, I take a look at how well these CPUs perform on a somewhat interesting motherboard.
Join me for a Slot-1 Test-a-Thon!

Great video...again! I love the CPU flex at the beginning as you start placing them. I need to do something similar as I have over 100.
Please keep this up!
Nice collection! That tnt2 scaled pretty well throughout the tests, interesting results.
It did, although again, I'm not seeing the kind of performance I'd expect out of it. Sure, it's not an Ultra, but it's also not a m64 or anything.
@@TechAmbr don't know if you've seen it yet, but if you want to compare results I did a tnt2 m64 vs tnt2s ultra battle for GPU June.
Edit. Welp, just realized you got more fps with the tnt2 than what I got in Quake 2 with the ultra in a Pentium 4. Looks pretty fast to me in that sense.
@@SUCRA Hmmmm.... I found a couple of reviews on Anandtech looking at the original TNT and .... they're getting better framerates with the original than I am with the TNT2, so... what's going on??? Did they get golden samples back in the day? It's so weird!
@@TechAmbr could be the driver version. Now I don't remember which one I used...
@@SUCRA It's gotta be. I found this article from Anandtech where they were overclocking the original TNT to basically TNT2 speeds, and getting way better FPS than I'm getting with a TNT2!!

I'll need to do some digging on Vogons, I think.
Nice video, thank you! Keep it up.
Nice video! Apart from the lack of oc options, these oem intel 440bx and 815 boards are not bad. Still have my original 1998 dell XPS R450 with a 440bx running fine after years of abuse. It originally came with a 450 dechutes, but I recently upgraded it with a 750 coppermine. With a slotket it even works with a 1100/100 coppermine and a PIII 1400-S (albeit at 1050 Mhz).
Nice collection. It's not a problem you have it's that you want choices 😎
Yeah, yeah, that's it. 😅
Nice video! I also have a large box full of slot 1 CPUs, and what seems an inordinate number of PIII 450s for some reason. Just a crap load of those. My Slocket gave me issues only when trying to do anything outside of the 100 MHz frontside bus as all of my current Slot 1 motherboards top at 133 but the multipliers are topped at 8.5 so... limited CPU compatibility for the higher clocked ones.
I have since decided that Slot 1 CPUs only on these boards, the Socket 370 chips go on the proper boards and the Slocket can collect dust!
It looks that Celeron 533 with Mendocino core is slower than PIII 450. That VIA C3 is like Celeron's for Socket 478. Great work with all these tests. I hope you will do more of them.
Love my gateway gear
nice. I have a Asus P3B-F board. its a 440BX AGP set. and also have a few slot 1 cpu's..
Thanks for a very informative video I really enjoyed watching it! So I have a Gateway 4000510 and I have been wondering what max speed cpu would work on this board and this video gives me a pretty good idea. The motherboard in the video appears to be a Gateway 4000585 correct? According to Gateway docs: "The following part numbers do not have integrated audio, but still use the same BIOS as those boards that do have integrated audio: 4000504, 4000510, 4000533, 4000585, 4000608". I wonder if bios P14 has added any cpu support up from bios P08 although the support docs don't seem to indicate anything like that.
My whole Gateway PIII 450 computer survived being flooded for like five days then I left it in an outside covered shed for over two years. It worked without even cleaning the board first. Although recently I washed it with tap water and dawn dish soap and let with dry with a box fan and that fixed some weirdness I was having. The only damage appears to be that the cmos settings won't hold for long if unplugged even with a known good cr2032 battery. It runs Windows 98 SE pretty well at 1080P but I'd like to have a faster PIII. Since these boards are locked to 8x multiplier and under that would mean the best these boards can do is a slot 1 PIII CU at 800MHz(SL457
) with 100fsb or a socket 370 PIII CU 800MHz with 100fsb with a socket 370 to socket 1 adapter correct? Again Thanks.
Who doesn't have a drawer full of slot 1 processors? I've got about a dozen laying around.
Nice scaling of the P3 750!
Its never a bad thing to have that many CPUs. Its not hoarding, your a collector and thats fine with us. Shame the Via Cyrix III 550 scores so low even against the 300Mhz Celron and Deshutes. I know they are a budget cpu but to not even try! That sucks! I would however still buy a VIA C III 1Ghz for collection reasons. Still a great part of CPU history. Great video. Have a good one.
I would love to get my hands on the second generation of that core (I think VIA called it the Nano).
My first attempt (pre-Tech Ambrosia) at making a retro gaming PC was using a 1.2 GHz VIA C7. It worked .... somewhat. 😆
Hi my name is

I literally just now watched #SUCRA 486 PC CHIPS motherboard trouble, and now there is another PC CHIPS motherboard, truly brings some very bad memories.
My Slot 1 Pentium II motherboard back in 1998 was Asus P2B-B, but AT style, and decades later i could not even find one, i had coupe o them ATX but not AT
Thanks for pinup !!
Those early P2 chips have to have their multipliers set manually. Everything after 333mhz has a locked multiplier. That's also the reason the biostar multiplier tops out at 5. If the biostar board posts with 600mhz chip you maybe able to use software to get the fsb up to 133.
Unfortunately, it does not :(
I didn't mention it in the video, but the board also seems to hang after about 30 seconds (or at least stops responding to keyboard input).
Iv still got a Intel bx system, with a slot 1 adapter and I think a 666 celeron running at 1ghz.....
Good stuff!
I've always been Curious about Intel Slot 1 vs AMD Slot A performance. Considering the Slot A slot and Slot 1 are mechanically compatible but electrically incompatible, I figured we might see very similar performance but who knows?
I would love to have a Slot A system to test with -- they were super hard to get your hands on back in the day, compared with Slot 1.
@@TechAmbr that would certainly explain why there are so few videos documenting their retro performance!
Klamath is usually unlocked, so you dont need to buy more to test them. The VIA chipset needs a special driver to perform, but I do not doubt you installed them (in your previous video). One of the best boards, in my opinion, is the Abit BH-6, of course with the BX chipset. The later revisions of these have a bus speed in increments of 1Mhz, up to 150Mhz if I remember correctly. The later boards have colored serial and parallel connectors. I saved this board myself for a future project.
I used to have one back in the day!! My first gaming PC that had new parts in it was an ABit BH-6 with a slotket and a Celeron 633 that I overclocked to 950! I miss it so much 😭
I'll try experimenting with my Klamaths and see if they're unlocked (and play nicely with my motherboards) because that will save me quite a bit of space! Thanks!
Do you like Pentium II XEON?
2:40 I looked at my Discord client in confusion, haha :D
Yeah, sorry! Everyone gets a Discord notification, as a treat!
i have a non intel board that is green, a Tyan Tsunami ATX.
I'm surprised that the CIII 550 worked, but not at its performance. As with Covington, it has no L2 cache - but is made worse by that pathetic half clock FPU. You should be able to get the FPS higher as well - maybe try different drivers for the TNT2. My; Pentium II 350, 16MB S3 Savage4 GT and AWE64 Value on the SE440BX-2 (non-Dell version, though it has the pads for their proprietary connectors) managed 65.5fps in Quake II at 640x480 (32bit colours, S3 Metal), and 32.2 fps in Quake III under OpenGL
CIII also have compatibility issues on top of their low performance. Some software doesn't see them as Pentium compatible and pop up a message box, others just crash with an error message. As others have said - should have been launched on Super Socket 7 with Samuel2 onwards on S370.
Probably an Intel SE440BX-2.
Better luck next time.
Please don’t put components on carpet 🤦🏼
really nothing, and putting lots of cpus.
