socket 370 vs. slot 1

[seti]

o.k. so what I've been reading is slot one is the way to go...is that right? Would you see any difference if you picked up a 370 to slot 1 adaptor?

I guess cooling would be an issue huh?

Most reviews I've read regarding the 370 version of Celeron have problems with greater than 75 Mhz FSB. Some even declares that 370 pin Celerons are bus lock because they could not run it at 100Mhz FSB. It seems that the 300Mhz with 2.0v slot 1 cpus (Celerons & P2) are the ones that allow for the best increase in performance.

I just did a 300A retail (SL35Q) Socket 370 on an Abit BM6 (great board, but "crappy" name!).
I'm getting 473Mhz at 2.0 volts.
Cheep to buy too; about $70 to $80 for CPU and $100 to $110 for MOBO.

In other words, as good or better than slot one SL32A (no longer available) on Abit BH6.

Get one while you can! Sooner or later others will figure it out!

Good luck!
