CeleRon 300A gets 10 out of 10 Rating !!!

Read the full review and testing .... [link lost in import]

The 300A sure is a great (cheap) option for all us gpl ***s. I picked one up on the weekend here in Sydney, Oz for $170aud, which is just a bargain. However to get stability at 450MHz i had to up the core voltage to 2.2, so today i bought the biggest fan i could find (6x6inches)) which will hopefully keep it cool. I have it slotted in an AbitBH6, 128mb with an 8mb Thriller. Gpl with a full grid & full graphics at 36fps is a sight to behold. I now have it networked to my P233-V1000, and i've been trying to test it out with my wife, who's using a crappy joystick, but she has failed to make it thru Curva Grande on around 15-20 attempts...hehe...oh well, at least it works !

Love it (for now)! I'd thought about the K6-2, but (ashamedly) I feel the Slot 1 has the most EXPANDABILITY available (as of now, anyway). This is the first Intel chip I've owned since my 486-33 I ditched 6 years ago! Counting a 64MB PC-100 DIMM, my upgrade cost was less than $300US! Don Hancock "Gunner"

On Tue, 15 Dec 1998 21:30:21 +1100, "Phil Abel" Phil, I paid a little more than you ($180), but mine fired up straight away at 450MHz using the standard core voltage of 2.0V. Same went for my 266 Celeron at 400MHz (which I only got 6 weeks ago!). I am also using the Abit BH6, 64MB Pc100, and an 8MB INtel i740 2D/3D, coupled with a 12MB Voodoo2. BTW, my S-code for the CPU is SL32A.

The 300A is indeed a great bargain. I've done 4 systems now with the 300A. 3 of them booted to 450MHZ first attempt and at core 2.0 voltage. 1 required 2.3 volts, and still wouldn't work with N2 or GPL. Everything else worked fine though. All 4 used a BH6 Abit mb. Dan -- >The 300A sure is a great (cheap) option for all us gpl ***s. I picked one
