I think Stage 1 is limited to Slot 1 processors, making the adapter illegal since you would be using a Socket 370 processor. Stage 2 you could use it, only limited to Pentium 3 processors.

 

My question is about Stage 2 though, are only x800 graphics cards allowed or all x8xx cards allowed (x850, etc)?

Since stage 1 is reference clock, I don't think it matters if you use a slocket, since it's mostly about the board.

I can't submit in stage1 with my board.

Add "Zida BXi-98" please.

3 questions and no answers:

 

1. Can we use Slot1 to Socket 370 adapter?

2. Can we use Pentium 3-S or Celeron (Tualatin)?

3. What about X800 series GPU?

1, 2. The limitation is to Slot1 processors (not motherboards). The list of applicable CPUs is here.

3. X800 series graphics cards include all the cards in this list.

It is clear, you must remove fgi`s result with adpter. So what about Tualatin?

As far as I can see round 2 allows any s370 cpus including tualatin ones. Please clarify on this as I need to decide if I should by VGA or not - I don't want to spend money for slot1 so if round 2 is limited to slot1 cpus I don't need X800 as well.

I agree on nr1,2 as that seems logic, but are you sure about nr3 looking at what websmile posted earlier?

 

This will have to be discussed, you get an update later - on question 3, X800 is not X850, otherwise there would be x8xx. Anyway, we will give headsup soon

CN is head of moderation Team, when he confirms X800 series includes X8xx/X850 cards, rely on this :) - I was cautious at my first answer to avoid people buying x850 and then be disappointed if it would have been not useful for this stage

So what about stage 2 - any P3 processors or only slot1 as CN says?

 

Only in stage 1 it says the restriction is slot 1. So in stage 2 you should be able to use both slot and socket based P3s

I'm not so sure. I would like to hear confirmation from Christian Ney...

I do agree. Besides that won't make difference at all as scaling was linear for me with CPU and gpu had a very small impact (except some classic tweaks).
