    Celeron 300a (Mendocino Slot 1) Computer

    I am looking for the motherboard and processor (must work) a SLOT 1 ASUS motherboard preferred. Celeron 300a Mendocino slot processor. Please let me know what Bios is on the board.

    I'll pay shipping and an amount we both deem fair for culling it, packaging it and sending it out to me.

    If your curious to know what the plans are I was challenged to the ultimate processor overclock. I achieved 1033Mhz on a room temp waterblock back in 1999 (I was still in high school at the time building a budget system for ultimate speed). I have since built other systems with major overclocking the PROBLEM is by the percentages and NOTHING, I emphasize that has ever been able to beat 344% increase in speed. Back then the boards were upgraded with MLCCs and Ta Caps to replace ALL the cpu voltage electrolytic caps, the mosfets would be raised and stuck with heatsinks (originally they were laid flat on the board).

    So to meet the criteria, lets see what you guys come across.

    I have something else to add. I am looking for 128MB PC133 made by Crucial or Kingston. I'll pay per chip, up to 4 chips. At the time they also had 256 BUT it didn't overclock like the 128s did. The celeron 300a is locked, meaning you can only change bus speed and voltage, An asus motherboard lets you do that AND change your bridge (the bga on the motherboard) voltage as well. I will be changing voltages to cpu, northbridge and memory.

    My old settings were 4.5x230Mhz bus. I used then top of the line memory running vCore 2.9v Bridge vCore 2.7v and Memory at 4.1v...massive numbers for the day. They don't make em like that anymore, if you tried to throw 2.9 volts at the cpu these days it would pop in half a second.



    I am considering an immersion overclock, where I heatsink everything and then immerse it in transformer oil, cooling the entire apparatus. If I do, I will certainly get pictures.
