Next time you folks get a chance to see a PIII-E and a Cel-mine at the same time, look closely at the top and underside of the chips. Me and a friend have "converted" a Cel-mine to a PIII-E. I honestly think Intel decides what the chip is AFTER MANUFACTURE. For reasons I`m still investigating I really believe this. The now PIII-E was a Cel-mine 600 that now runs at 966 with 256kb cache thats fully enabled. Next comes overclocking this lil fella.
Done to the CPU was "rearrainging" the caps and adding 2 caps. The soldering was tricky but the chip seems stable to date under Win95/8 and Linux. Next up after overclocking is SMP.....I may be asking too much for 85 bucks...huh?
