== Socket 423 ==
[[File:P4_1400_423.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Pentium 4 for Socket 423]]

Socket 423 was the first Pentium 4 socket. It was rather short-lived, but still went through a few changes in its life. It only supported early Willamette core CPUs, which were mostly deemed as below expectations product.

Most Socket 423 motherboards used RDRAM with Intel 850 chipset instead of the more common DDR or SDRAM, making it too expesive, and so, as an unforseen result, it can be considered a fabled rarity in some areas of the world.

The first Pentium 4 chipset to support DDR was VIA P4X266 (mid-2001), and its price/performance balance was promising indeed. Meanwhile Intel pushed out the i845, which only supported PC133 SDRAM in its early steppings. It was too slow for obvious reasons, and by the time Intel 845 B0-Step (aka 845D, aka 845DDR) was ready, Socket 478 almost completely took over the market.

'''Today:''' Unless you're into historically accurate systems or, for some reason you need to work with P4 1.3GHz, there's very little sense in building such rig these days. The 2.0GHz Pentium 4 is about as fast as a Tualatin 1.4GHz while consuming a lot more power.

== Socket 478 ==
[[File:Socket478.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Socket 478]]
There are four major cores available for this socket: Willamette, Northwood, Prescott and Gallatin.

*'''Willamette''' is exactly the same basic core found in the earliest Socket-423 CPUs. Support for these can be found in any period chipset: Intel 850, Intel 845, VIA P4X266, SiS645. Few Intel Celeron processors were introduced, based on something called '''Willamette-128''', with reduced L2 cache. Perfomance drop mixed with already questionable P4 architecture made these a poor choice for most if its production cycle.

Best used: As a static exhibit.

*'''Northwood''' is the first upgrade to Intel's NetBurst design. L2 cache is double that of a Willamette (512kB vs 256kB), manufacturing process moved to 130nm (the same as Tualatin), minor bugs and perfomance bottlenecks taken care of. Northwood is supported by pretty much any early 2000s P4 chipset, although in some cases, microcode update is required (system might still boot, but won't show proper CPU information). Hyper-Threading technology was available for some models since late-2002. As with the earlier Willamette-128, the '''Northwood-128''' was introduced sometime after the main Pentium 4 lineup.

This was the first core to hit 800MHz FSB, and with it, Intel also pushed out their i865/i875P chipsets. Asustek used PAT technology to (presumably) push memory timings and some of the chipset core logic beyond specifications, something that helped their boards (ASUS P4P800 and P4C800 series) to be 15-20% faster than competition in some cases.

Northwood core is also known for '''Sudden Northwood Death Syndrome''' or '''SNDS'''. Setting the CPU voltage above certain level will gradually damage critical areas of the silicon, causing glitches, and ultimately, in some cases, rendering the CPU completely useless. There is no internal circuit to prevent this or even warn the user of a danger ahead. Keep that in mind while picking up used Northwood P4, as they generally were highly overclockable.

Best used: With i850E and RDRAM. Northwoods with 800MHz FSB go with i875P chipset.

*'''Gallatin''' is essentially Northwood core with 2MB of L3 cache, first branded as Xeon, and later brought into High-end/Enthusiast desktop computer market under Pentium 4 Extreme Edition brand name. It is the first Intel CPU for home use featuring three levels of cache. Performance-wise it wasn't much faster than the competition, but because of its price and status, it became quite rare and collectible.

Best used: As a static exhibit, or with i875P chipset.

*'''Prescott''' is the last core alailable for Socket-478. It's a big upgrade from the Northwood architecture, and is '''not''' supported by most early chipsets. Its low-end counterpart is '''Prescott-256''' Celeron D. Intel 845E/PE chipsets are known to support Prescott through a BIOS update (if released by the motherboard manufacturer), although i865/i875P would be your best choice anyways. No earlier chipset is known to support this core officially, but as with most earlier designs, such CPU might still work.

Best used: With i875P or i915P chipset.

'''Today:''' Socket 478 is a classic and versatile platform for a retro PC enthusiast. The most interesting are perhaps Northwood and Gallatin. Gallatin (the Extreme Edition chip) is pretty rare and collectible, while Northwood is on the other side of the scale -- easy to obtain, no compatibility issues, reasonable performance for most retro activities. Prescott-based Celeron D may also work fine if you're looking for a straightforward single-threaded solution.

== Socket 775 ==
[[File:LGA775.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Socket 775]]
Otherwise known as LGA 775. Prescott and Cedar Mill Pentium 4 CPUs, Dual-Core Pentium D, and of course Core 2, used this socket. Early LGA 775 boards do not support Core 2, although later boards often support all LGA 775 CPUs.

Uniquely, "combo" LGA 775 boards with older Intel 865 chipset were popular for a short period of time. Some of those support Core 2 CPUs as well. ASUS P5PE-VM is one such board. Combined with single-core Celeron 400 series CPU, it results in system that features quite an extraordinary mix:
*Fully Win98 compatible, with complete device driver support.
*AGP 4x/8x that can reliably run with GeForce 256 and even later Riva TNT2s.
*Single-core CPU which is a direct descendant to Intel's own, "classic" P6 architecture.
*35 Watts TDP compared to ~100 Watts for Pentium 4s of the time. When downclocking to 533MHz FSB, passive cooling should be sufficient.
*Serial ATA or IDE drives supported.

The last Intel chipset to officially support Windows 98/ME is i925XE. It is capable of running most of the 90s games designed for Windows 98, and using PCI-E graphic card is rarely a brickwall.

'''Today:''' LGA 775 with i945/i955 or later chipset is not an option for old games because these boards do not support Windows 9x. While i915/i925 chipsets do support Windows 9x, i865 is a more classic design, with AGP and no obvious obstacles in running any Windows 9x game. Another way of enjoying LGA 775 build is retro-overclocking -- pretty much any regular Cedar Mill core Celeron D can go up to 7GHz+ with proper cooling, and reaching 8GHz+ promises world recognition to such overclocker or team.

WereLion7: Added info on S3 2000

Multiplayer-centered first-person shooter released in 1999 by Epic.

To get the game working properly, all power saving measures such as AMD's Cool'n'Quiet/PowerNow! or Intel's SpeedStep need to be disabled, because the initial low clocks when starting the game will throw it off, causing erratic fluctuating framerates. This can be done by setting the power scheme in the Control Panel to something like "Home/Office Desk" or "Always On". Also, cwdohnal's fixed OpenGL renderer called UTGLR is recommended when playing the game on hardware other than 3dfx or S3 Savage.

When using S3TC textures online, one may get the "sliding players" bug. To fix this, the appropriate textures need to be patched. See the linked guide for details.

For online multiplayer, today Windows 2000 or higher is advised, because most of the servers use a newer ACE (AntiCheatEngine) version that dropped support for Win9x.

Uniquely, some S3 graphics cards can benefit from the S3 MeTaL renderer. It will generally run faster than the same card in DirectX or OpenGL modes, but will most likely suffer occasional texture glitch. Diamond Viper II Z200 (S3 2000), however desirable and rare, is known to have it.

Windows versions

2018-04-26T15:31:02Z

WereLion7: /* Windows 2000 */

This is a list describing different Windows versions in terms of game compatibility.

=== Windows 3.x ===

Windows 3.0 is a graphical environment that can be run from DOS. The requirements are a 8088/8086 CPU, 386K of RAM, 6-7 MB HDD free space, a CGA/EGA/VGA/Hercules/8514/A graphics adapter and MS-DOS 3.1.. Windows 3.0 supports also 286/386 CPUs and can be run in Real Mode, 286 Protected Mode or 386 Protected Mode. However due to the similar implementation of the 386 Protected Mode the maximum useable memory is 16 MB, same as the limit for 286 Protected Mode. A few programs are included in Windows 3.0 like Program Manager, File Manager, Notepad, Paintbrush, Reversi and Solitaire. Later the Multimedia Extension 1.0 upgrade was released including a Soundblaster Pro and CD-ROM drive (Panasonic?). For True Type Font support Adobe Type Manager has to be installed.

Windows 3.1

Windows 3.11

Windows for Workgroups 3.11

=== Windows 95 ===

=== Windows NT4 ===
Windows NT4 uses a preemptive multitasking kernel and supports two CPUs and up to 4 GB RAM in the Workstation Professional version. The system is rather lightweight and requires only a 486DX2-66 and about 32 MB RAM, a Pentium system is recommended. After boot the whole Windows system uses just about 16 MB RAM. Windows NT4 has a higher stability as Windows 95.
It was released with DirectX2 and got support for DirectX3 with the latest servicepack 6a. The user interface is the same as in Windows 95 with some additional features from Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95. However it is possible to upgrade to the user interface known from Windows 98 by installing Internet Explorer 4 with Active Desktop.
Windows NT4 does not support Plug and Play and USB. This is usually no problem since drivers for PnP hardware bring their own configuration sheet and for mass storage USB devices third party software is available.

For gaming Direct3D from DirectX3 is supported. However most DirectX games with accelerated 3D graphics require at least DirectX5. Still, DirectX3 allows most 2D games that use DirectDraw to run (e.g. Starcraft, Diablo e.g.). Benchmarks show that due to the different driver architecture accelerated 2D graphics is a lot faster compared to Windows 95.
The OpenGL support from graphics card drivers for Windows NT4 is solid. Also the most important gaming 3D accelerator cards from 3dfx at this time have Glide support in Windows NT4. Thus most Glide compatible games work (e.g. Unreal engines, Quake engines).

Any 16 bit related code like DOS programs are run in a Virtual DOS machine (NTVDM). It supports 486 code. Direct hardware calls are not possible.

=== Windows 98 ===
[[File:Win98SE_RAM_Limit.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Windows 98 SE with HimemX]]
Best all-in-one operating system for DOS and Win9x gaming. Basically a much more refined continuation of Windows 95. Good DOS compatibility either by DOS window or rebooting into DOS. Emulates USB mouses and gamepads in DOS window as well. Has numerous features that Win95 got only with the OSR releases and which weren't present in its original release, such as support for P6 (Pentium Pro and up), FAT32, selection of IRQs, AGP, UDMA, USB and MMX.

Furthermore, SSE and multiple monitor support is exclusive for Windows 98 and up. Windows 98 supports up to 512 MB RAM without tweaking, with tweaking up to 1 GB and beyond. Practical limit can be reached at about 1150MB using third party memory manager, like HimemX v3.32.

3rd party USB mass storage drivers, namely nusb24 and later nusb33e, are only available for Windows 98 SE due to its newer USB stack, so this revision is by far preferable. 3rd party drivers are also available for ADSL connectivity (raspppoe). 

=== Windows 2000 ===
A continuation of NT4 and the final OS from the NT line without a version targeted at home users/consumers. In similar fashion to the relation between 95 and NT4, 2000 is more stable than 98, although several graphics cards manufacturers initially had problems providing drivers with the same performance as under 98. Win2000 Professional supports up to two processors, Windows2000 Server up to four, with no differentiation between physical processors and individual cores on a multi-core CPU.

In some ways, this version of Windows is a transition to a much more home-oriented Windows XP. The RTM version includes DirectX 7 and will run a lot more games than Windows NT4 ever could. However, in terms of retro gaming there is no competition between it and Win98.

=== Windows ME ===
Released after Windows 2000, this is the last OS in the Win9x line. It lacks pure DOS mode (cannot reboot into DOS), which is a serious downside for those retro gaming enthusiasts who are looking for a combo DOS/Windows gaming machine.

Two major features Windows ME has over earlier Win9x builds are:
* USB Stack taken from Windows 2000, complete with USB mass storage drivers right out of the box. Third party drivers no longer needed.
* Networking stack taken from Windows 2000. This gives extra security and compatibility for newer networks.

Without the need to carry around pure DOS, some minor updates have been applied, which resulted in faster boot times and better compatibility with period hardware.

Just like Windows 98, the Millennium Edition officially supports only up to 512 MB RAM. Furthermore, tweaking it to work with more than 512MB RAM may not work at all. Numerous reviews as well as user experience feedback deemed ME to be the worst Windows ever made, while in fact it's just a plain old Win98 with some of the long-awaited updates. This is suspected to be Microsoft's own marketing effort to stop ME from growing too big less than a year prior to Windows XP release.

The aftermath for this is a poor recognition of this OS even by modern retro PC community, disregarding that in most games and tests it runs as fast and reliable as Windows 98/98SE, if not slightly better.

=== Windows XP ===
Last OS from Microsoft so far to support game ports, MPU-401 ports, the IPX protocol, out of the box MIDI device selection and EAX 3D sound hardware acceleration through the DirectSound HAL. Generally good Win9x game compatibility.

DOS programs are run in the NT Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM). Basic Sound Blaster 2.0 and MPU-401 support can be enabled by adding SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3 to the autoexec.nt file. The virtual resources do not have to represent real hardware resources. The NTVDM emulation uses the default windows multimedia devices. Direct hardware access from within NTVDM is not possible.

Windows XP introduced the recognition of Intel's Hyper-threading simultaneous multithreading technique. Furthermore, it differentiates between actual physical processors with their own socket and multiple cores on one CPU. WinXP Home Edition supports one physical processor, WinXP Professional two; both support up to 32 cores without Hyper-threading, 16 with it. The somewhat exotic Windows XP x64, which is essentially a relabeled Server 2003 x64, supports up to 64 and 32 cores, respectively.

A few programs are included in Windows 3.0 like Program Manager, File Manager, Notepad, Paintbrush, Reversi and Solitaire. Later the Multimedia Extension 1.0 upgrade was released including a Soundblaster Pro and CD-ROM drive (Panasonic?). For True Type Font support Adobe Type Manager has to be installed.

Windows 3.1

Windows 3.11

Windows for Workgroups 3.11

=== Windows 95 ===

=== Windows NT4 ===
Windows NT4 uses a preemptive multitasking kernel and supports two CPUs and up to 4 GB RAM in the Workstation Professional version. The system is rather lightweight and requires only a 486DX2-66 and about 32 MB RAM, a Pentium system is recommended. After boot the whole Windows system uses just about 16 MB RAM. Windows NT4 has a higher stability as Windows 95.
It was released with DirectX2 and got support for DirectX3 with the latest servicepack 6a. The user interface is the same as in Windows 95 with some additional features from Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95. However it is possible to upgrade to the user interface known from Windows 98 by installing Internet Explorer 4 with Active Desktop.
Windows NT4 does not support Plug and Play and USB. This is usually no problem since drivers for PnP hardware bring their own configuration sheet and for mass storage USB devices third party software is available.

For gaming Direct3D from DirectX3 is supported. However most DirectX games with accelerated 3D graphics require at least DirectX5. Still, DirectX3 allows most 2D games that use DirectDraw to run (e.g. Starcraft, Diablo e.g.). Benchmarks show that due to the different driver architecture accelerated 2D graphics is a lot faster compared to Windows 95.
The OpenGL support from graphics card drivers for Windows NT4 is solid. Also the most important gaming 3D accelerator cards from 3dfx at this time have Glide support in Windows NT4. Thus most Glide compatible games work (e.g. Unreal engines, Quake engines).

Any 16 bit related code like DOS programs are run in a Virtual DOS machine (NTVDM). It supports 486 code. Direct hardware calls are not possible.

=== Windows 98 ===
[[File:Win98SE_RAM_Limit.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Windows 98 SE with HimemX]]
Best all-in-one operating system for DOS and Win9x gaming. Basically a much more refined continuation of Windows 95. Good DOS compatibility either by DOS window or rebooting into DOS. Emulates USB mouses and gamepads in DOS window as well. Has numerous features that Win95 got only with the OSR releases and which weren't present in its original release, such as support for P6 (Pentium Pro and up), FAT32, selection of IRQs, AGP, UDMA, USB and MMX.

Furthermore, SSE and multiple monitor support is exclusive for Windows 98 and up. Windows 98 supports up to 512 MB RAM without tweaking, with tweaking up to 1 GB and beyond. Practical limit can be reached at about 1150MB using third party memory manager, like HimemX v3.32.

3rd party USB mass storage drivers, namely nusb24 and later nusb33e, are only available for Windows 98 SE due to its newer USB stack, so this revision is by far preferable. 3rd party drivers are also available for ADSL connectivity (raspppoe). 

=== Windows 2000 ===
A continuation of NT4 and the final OS from the NT line without a version targeted at home users/consumers. In similar fashion to the relation between 95 and NT4, 2000 is more stable than 98, although several graphics cards manufacturers initially had problems providing drivers with the same performance as under 98. Win2000 Professional supports up to two processors, Windows2000 Server up to four, with no differentiation between physical processors and individual cores on a multi-core CPU.

=== Windows ME ===
Released after Windows 2000, this is the last OS in the Win9x line. It lacks pure DOS mode (cannot reboot into DOS), which is a serious downside for those retro gaming enthusiasts who are looking for a combo DOS/Windows gaming machine.

Two major features Windows ME has over earlier Win9x builds are:
* USB Stack taken from Windows 2000, complete with USB mass storage drivers right out of the box. Third party drivers no longer needed.
* Networking stack taken from Windows 2000. This gives extra security and compatibility for newer networks.

Without the need to carry around pure DOS, some minor updates have been applied, which resulted in faster boot times and better compatibility with period hardware.

Just like Windows 98, the Millennium Edition officially supports only up to 512 MB RAM. Furthermore, tweaking it to work with more than 512MB RAM may not work at all. Numerous reviews as well as user experience feedback deemed ME to be the worst Windows ever made, while in fact it's just a plain old Win98 with some of the long-awaited updates. This is suspected to be Microsoft's own marketing effort to stop ME from growing too big less than a year prior to Windows XP release.

The aftermath for this is a poor recognition of this OS even by modern retro PC community, disregarding that in most games and tests it runs as fast and reliable as Windows 98/98SE, if not slightly better.

=== Windows XP ===
Last OS from Microsoft so far to support game ports, MPU-401 ports, the IPX protocol, out of the box MIDI device selection and EAX 3D sound hardware acceleration through the DirectSound HAL. Generally good Win9x game compatibility.

DOS programs are run in the NT Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM). Basic Sound Blaster 2.0 and MPU-401 support can be enabled by adding SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3 to the autoexec.nt file. The virtual resources do not have to represent real hardware resources. The NTVDM emulation uses the default windows multimedia devices. Direct hardware access from within NTVDM is not possible.

Windows XP introduced the recognition of Intel's Hyper-threading simultaneous multithreading technique. Furthermore, it differentiates between actual physical processors with their own socket and multiple cores on one CPU. WinXP Home Edition supports one physical processor, WinXP Professional two; both support up to 32 cores without Hyper-threading, 16 with it. The somewhat exotic Windows XP x64, which is essentially a relabeled Server 2003 x64, supports up to 64 and 32 cores, respectively.

WereLion7:

This is a non-exhaustive list of [[Socket 8 / Slot 1 / Socket 370 Motherboards#Socket 370|Socket 370 motherboards]] in the form of a comparison table. Motherboards are compared in regard to features that might be important to a builder when building a retro [[Intel CPUs#Socket 370|Pentium 3]]-based machine. This table focuses on motherboards supporting Tualatin processors and/or DDR memory.

Be wary that even though some motherboard model numbers are included here as having an ISA slot, on some boards (like OEM versions of the retail boards) the ISA slot may have been omitted.

List of Socket 370 motherboards

2018-04-26T09:15:23Z

WereLion7: Added MS-6153VA V2.1. This mobo does not have a marketing name. "693A Pro" is an unofficial reference. Also, ECC SDRAM does work with it, although never mentioned in manuals or public specifications. I will NOT state it supports ECC in the list.

This is a non-exhaustive list of [[Socket 8 / Slot 1 / Socket 370 Motherboards#Socket 370|Socket 370 motherboards]] in the form of a comparison table. Motherboards are compared in regard to features that might be important to a builder when building a retro [[Intel CPUs#Socket 370|Pentium 3]]-based machine. This table focuses on motherboards supporting Tualatin processors and/or DDR memory.

Be wary that even though some motherboard model numbers are included here as having an ISA slot, on some boards (like OEM versions of the retail boards) the ISA slot may have been omitted.

This is a non-exhaustive list of [[Socket 8 / Slot 1 / Socket 370 Motherboards#Socket 370|Socket 370 motherboards]] in the form of a comparison table. Motherboards are compared in regard to features that might be important to a builder when building a retro [[Intel CPUs#Socket 370|Pentium 3]]-based machine. This table focuses on motherboards supporting Tualatin processors and/or DDR memory.

Be wary that even though some motherboard model numbers are included here as having an ISA slot, on some boards (like OEM versions of the retail boards) the ISA slot may have been omitted.

Pentium 4 Motherboards

2018-04-17T15:41:39Z

WereLion7: /* Socket 478 */

== Socket 423 ==
Socket 423 was the first Pentium 4 socket. It was rather short-lived, but still went through a few changes in its life. It only supported early Willamette core CPUs, which were mostly deemed as below expectations product.

Most Socket 423 motherboards used RDRAM with Intel 850 chipset instead of the more common DDR or SDRAM, making it too expesive, and so, as an unforseen result, it can be considered a fabled rarity in some areas of the world.

The first Pentium 4 chipset to support DDR was VIA P4X266 (mid-2001), and its price/performance balance was promising indeed. Meanwhile Intel pushed out the i845, which only supported PC133 SDRAM in its early steppings. It was too slow for obvious reasons, and by the time Intel 845 B0-Step (aka 845D, aka 845DDR) was ready, Socket 478 almost completely took over the market.

'''Today:''' Unless you're into historically accurate systems or, for some reason you need to work with P4 1.3GHz, there's very little sense in building such rig these days. The 2.0GHz Pentium 4 is about as fast as a Tualatin 1.4GHz while consuming a lot more power.

== Socket 478 ==
[[File:Socket478.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Socket 478]]
There are four major cores available for this socket: Willamette, Northwood, Prescott and Gallatin.

*'''Willamette''' is exactly the same basic core found in the earliest Socket-423 CPUs. Support for these can be found in any period chipset: Intel 850, Intel 845, VIA P4X266, SiS645. Few Intel Celeron processors were introduced, based on something called '''Willamette-128''', with reduced L2 cache. Perfomance drop mixed with already questionable P4 architecture made these a poor choice for most if its production cycle.

Best used: As a static exhibit.

*'''Northwood''' is the first upgrade to Intel's NetBurst design. L2 cache is double that of a Willamette (512kB vs 256kB), manufacturing process moved to 130nm (the same as Tualatin), minor bugs and perfomance bottlenecks taken care of. Northwood is supported by pretty much any early 2000s P4 chipset, although in some cases, microcode update is required (system might still boot, but won't show proper CPU information). Hyper-Threading technology was available for some models since late-2002. As with the earlier Willamette-128, the '''Northwood-128''' was introduced sometime after the main Pentium 4 lineup.

This was the first core to hit 800MHz FSB, and with it, Intel also pushed out their i865/i875P chipsets. Asustek used PAT technology to (presumably) push memory timings and some of the chipset core logic beyond specifications, something that helped their boards (ASUS P4P800 and P4C800 series) to be 15-20% faster than competition in some cases.

Northwood core is also known for '''Sudden Northwood Death Syndrome''' or '''SNDS'''. Setting the CPU voltage above certain level will gradually damage critical areas of the silicon, causing glitches, and ultimately, in some cases, rendering the CPU completely useless. There is no internal circuit to prevent this or even warn the user of a danger ahead. Keep that in mind while picking up used Northwood P4, as they generally were highly overclockable.

Best used: With i850E and RDRAM. Northwoods with 800MHz FSB go with i875P chipset.

*'''Gallatin''' is essentially Northwood core with 2MB of L3 cache, first branded as Xeon, and later brought into High-end/Enthusiast desktop computer market under Pentium 4 Extreme Edition brand name. It is the first Intel CPU for home use featuring three levels of cache. Performance-wise it wasn't much faster than the competition, but because of it's price and status, it became quite rare and collectible.

Best used: As a static exhibit, or with i875P chipset.

*'''Prescott''' is the last core alailable for Socket-478. It's a big upgrade from the Northwood architecture, and is '''not''' supported by most early chipsets. Its low-end counterpart is '''Prescott-256''' Celeron D. Intel 845E/PE chipsets are known to support Prescott through a BIOS update (if released by the motherboard manufacturer), although i865/i875P would be your best choice anyways. No earlier chipset is known to support this core officially, but as with most earlier designs, such CPU might still work.

Best used: With i875P or i915P chipset.

'''Today:''' Socket 478 is a classic and versatile platform for a retro PC enthusiast. The most interesting are perhaps Northwood and Gallatin. Gallatin (the Extreme Edition chip) is pretty rare and collectible, while Northwood is on the other side of the scale -- easy to obtain, no compatibility issues, reasonable performance for most retro activities. Prescott-based Celeron D may also work fine if you're looking for a straightforward single-threaded solution.

== Socket 775 ==
[[File:LGA775.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Socket 775]]
Otherwise known as LGA 775. Prescott and Cedar Mill Pentium 4 CPUs, Dual-Core Pentium D, and of course Core 2, used this socket. Early LGA 775 boards do not support Core 2, although later boards often support all LGA 775 CPUs.

Uniquely, "combo" LGA 775 boards with older Intel 865 chipset were popular for a short period of time. Some of those support Core 2 CPUs as well. ASUS P5PE-VM is one such board. Combined with single-core Celeron 400 series CPU, it results in system that features quite an extraordinary mix:
*Fully Win98 compatible, with complete device driver support.
*AGP 4x/8x that can reliably run with GeForce 2, and possibly even later Riva TNT2s.
*Single-core CPU which is a direct descendant to Intel's own, "classic" P6 architecture.
*35 Watts TDP compared to ~100 Watts for Pentium 4s of the time. When downclocking to 533MHz FSB, passive cooling should be sufficient.
*Serial ATA or IDE drives supported.

The last Intel chipset to officially support Windows 98/ME is i925XE. It is capable of running most of the 90s games designed for Windows 98, and using PCI-E graphic card is rarely a brickwall.

'''Today:''' LGA 775 with i945/i955 or later chipset is not an option for old games because these boards do not support Windows 9x. While i915/i925 chipsets do support Windows 9x, i865 is a more classic design, with AGP and no obvious obstacles in running any Windows 9x game. Another way of enjoying LGA 775 build is retro-overclocking -- pretty much any regular Cedar Mill core Celeron D can go up to 7GHz+ with proper cooling, and reaching 8GHz+ promises world recognition to such overclocker or team.

'''Today:''' LGA 775 with i945/i955 or later chipset is not an option for old games because these boards do not support Windows 9x. While i915/i925 chipsets do support Windows 9x, i865 is a more classic design, with AGP and no obvious obstacles in running any Windows 9x game. Another way of enjoying LGA 775 build is retro-overclocking -- pretty much any regular Cedar Mill core Celeron D can go up to 7GHz+ with proper cooling, and reaching 8GHz+ promises world recognition to such overclocker or team.

WereLion7: /* Socket 775 */

== Socket 423 ==
Socket 423 was the first Pentium 4 socket. It was rather short-lived, but still went through a few changes in its life. It only supported early Willamette core CPUs, which were mostly deemed as below expectations product.

Most Socket 423 motherboards used RDRAM with Intel 850 chipset instead of the more common DDR or SDRAM, making it too expesive, and so, as an unforseen result, it can be considered a fabled rarity in some areas of the world.

The first Pentium 4 chipset to support DDR was VIA P4X266 (mid-2001), and its price/performance balance was promising indeed. Meanwhile Intel pushed out the i845, which only supported PC133 SDRAM in its early steppings. It was too slow for obvious reasons, and by the time Intel 845 B0-Step (aka 845D, aka 845DDR) was ready, Socket 478 almost completely took over the market.

'''Today:''' Unless you're into historically accurate systems or, for some reason you need to work with P4 1.3GHz, there's very little sense in building such rig these days. The 2.0GHz Pentium 4 is about as fast as a Tualatin 1.4GHz while consuming a lot more power.

== Socket 478 ==
[[File:Socket478.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Socket 478]]
There are four major cores available for this socket: Willamette, Northwood, Prescott and Gallatin.

*'''Willamette''' is exactly the same basic core found in the earliest Socket-423 CPUs. Support for these can be found in any period chipset: Intel 850, Intel 845, VIA P4X266, SiS645. Few Intel Celeron processors were introduced, based on something called '''Willamette-128''', with reduced L2 cache. Perfomance drop mixed with already questionable P4 architecture made these a poor choice for most if its production cycle.

Best used: As a static exhibit.

*'''Northwood''' is the first upgrade to Intel's NetBurst design. L2 cache is double that of a Willamette (512kB vs 256kB), manufacturing process moved to 130nm (the same as Tualatin), minor bugs and perfomance bottlenecks taken care of. Northwood is supported by pretty much any early 2000s P4 chipset, although in some cases, microcode update is required (system might still boot, but won't show proper CPU information). Hyper-Threading technology was available for some models since late-2002. As with the earlier Willamette-128, the '''Northwood-128''' was introduced sometime after the main Pentium 4 lineup.

Northwood core is also known for '''Sudden Northwood Death Syndrome''' or '''SNDS'''. Setting the CPU voltage above certain level will gradually damage critical areas of the silicon, causing glitches, and ultimately, in some cases, rendering the CPU completely useless. There is no internal circuit to prevent this or even warn the user of a danger ahead. Keep that in mind while picking up used Northwood P4, as they generally were highly overclockable.

Best used: With i850E and RDRAM. Northwoods with 800MHz FSB go with i875P chipset.

*'''Prescott'''

*'''Gallatin'''

'''Today:''' The most interesting are perhaps Northwood and Gallatin. Gallatin is the Extreme Edition chip, a rebranded Xeon core with L3 cache.

== Socket 775 ==
[[File:LGA775.JPG|200px|thumb|right|Socket 775]]
Otherwise known as LGA 775. Prescott and Cedar Mill Pentium 4 CPUs, Dual-Core Pentium D, and of course Core 2, used this socket. Early LGA 775 boards do not support Core 2, although later boards often support all LGA 775 CPUs.

Uniquely, "combo" LGA 775 boards with older Intel 865 chipset were popular for a short period of time. Some of those support Core 2 CPUs as well. ASUS P5PE-VM is one such board. Combined with single-core Celeron 400 series CPU, it results in system that features quite an extraordinary mix:
*Fully Win98 compatible, with complete device driver support.
*AGP 4x/8x that can reliably run with GeForce 2, and possibly even later Riva TNT2s.
*Single-core CPU which is a direct descendant to Intel's own, "classic" P6 architecture.
*35 Watts TDP compared to ~100 Watts for Pentium 4s of the time. When downclocking to 533MHz FSB, passive cooling should be sufficient.
*Serial ATA or IDE drives supported.

The last Intel chipset to officially support Windows 98/ME is i925XE. It is capable of running most of the 90s games designed for Windows 98, and using PCI-E graphic card is rarely a brickwall.

'''Today:''' LGA 775 with i945/i955 or later chipset is not an option for old games because these boards do not support Windows 9x. While i915/i925 chipsets do support Windows 9x, i865 is a more classic design, with AGP and no obvious obstacles in running any Windows 9x game.

===Millennium===
[[File:Matrox Millennium 8mb rotate.jpg|thumb|Millennium]]
Successor to the Impression series, Millennium is a capable VGA and GUI accelerator with good output quality. Its intended audience was CAD users and others who desired high-performance, high-resolution GUI acceleration and was highly-priced accordingly.

Like the Impression, it is a rudimentary 3D accelerator with support for gouraud shading. It does not support hardware texture mapping. It is not Direct3D compatible. There were a few games included with the card that interfaced with it.

===Mystique===
[[File:Mystique 2.jpg|thumb|Mystique]]

''See main article: [[Matrox Mystique]]''

[[Matrox Mystique]] is a 2D/3D/video accelerator for PC. Matrox released their first Mystique on August 14, 1996. Newer versions, including Mystique 220, kept appearing until summer 1997. The videocard usually had 2-4 Mb SGRAM expandable to 8MB with a special memory add-on card. However, apart from higher resolutions, upgrading memory did not make much difference.

Mystique was oriented on mid-end consummer and business market, offering excellent 2D performance, traditional for Matrox. It also has basic 3D capabilities, delivered mainly through Matrox Simple Interface API. As for the 2D part, it's safe to say the videocard has no known flaws. The image is crisp, has fine colors. But the 3D part lacked a lot of functions, which were removed to improve overall performance. Overall, [[Matrox Mystique]] is a good choice for 2D graphics alongside [[3dfx]] Voodoo.

===Millennium II===
[[File:Matroxmillennium2.jpg|thumb|Millenium II 8MB PCI]]
This chip is mysteriously similar to Mystique but it uses WRAM instead of SGRAM and this gives it higher high-resolution GUI performance. The 3D acceleration appears to be identical with even the same bugs.

It comes in both AGP and PCI versions.

===G100===
This was primarily a budget VGA/GUI "productivity" accelerator card. It has somewhat improved 3D hardware compared to the Mystique and Millennium II, with bilinear filtering, but it still lacks critical features like full alpha blending.

===G200===
[[File:MatroxG200.jpg|thumb|Millennium G200]]
The G200 is Matrox's first in-house 3D accelerator with full Direct3D 5 feature compliance. It typically comes with 8MB RAM and is capable of rendering at any resolution that can fit within that. It is capable of 32-bit rendering color depth although the performance hit is considerable. It is AGP 2x compliant and can use AGP texturing.

Unreal and Unreal Tournament may display an incorrect, overly bright image. Editing the Unreal.ini and disabling multi-texturing will fix this. Z-fighting may also be a problem and enabling 32-bit z-buffer can help this.

G200's OpenGL support was very poor until years into its life. Initially a slow OpenGL-to-Direct3D wrapper was used to support a few games. Eventually a full OpenGL driver was released at around the same time as G400's. Note that the final drivers for G200 include a OpenGL driver with a bug that breaks transparent water. This is remedied with later G400 driver package that contains a G200 OpenGL ICD. Overwrite the older ICD in the Windows directory.

Retail cards were ''Millennium G200'', ''Mystique G200'', ''Marvel G200'' and ''G200 MMS''. Millennium uses SGRAM while Mystique has slightly slower SDRAM but also TV-output. Marvel features video in/out capabilities. There is also a G250 chip which was OEM-only. It is built on 250nm manufacturing instead of G200's 350nm and typically does not need a heatsink.

===G400===
[[File:MatroxMillenniumG400Max.JPG|thumb|Millennium G400 Max]]
The G400 was essentially an improved and upgraded G200. Main improvements include 2 rendering pipelines, 128-bit memory bus, dual VGA monitor output, Direct3D 6 compliance, and environmental bump mapping support (EMBM). It is over twice as fast as Millennium G200. The G400 Max was similar in performance to TNT2 Ultra and Voodoo3 3500.

It lacks most DVD acceleration features but has an interesting DVD Max mode for output onto the second display.

Initially the card did not have an OpenGL driver. Matrox compensated for over a year with a miniGL called TurboGL which supported mainly Quake 1/2/3-based games. In early 2000 the final OpenGL driver was ready.

Variants include the ''Millennium G400'', ''Millennium G400 Max'', ''Marvel G400'', and ''Marvel G400-TV''. There are also a number of OEM models with different specifications. Some cards come with slightly slower SDRAM instead of SGRAM.

===G450===
A cost-reduced version of G400 with similar performance and features. G400 Max is faster.

Retail products were ''Millennium G450'' and ''Marvel G450 eTV''.

===G550===
A Direct3D 6 GPU in practice. It does have a hardware transform and lighting unit but it is not Direct3D 7 compliant. This was only used for the Headcasting software. Performance of this card is slightly above the G400 and G450.

The retail model was ''Millennium G550''.

===Parhelia===
[[File:MatroxParhelia128.jpg|thumb|Parhelia revision 1]]
Matrox's first Direct3D 8 accelerator, although it was initially advertised has having partial D3D9 capabilities. Performance is similar to a GeForce4 Ti. Initial version of the GPU has some bugs with secondary displays and also shipped with a low clock speed because of manufacturing difficulties. A later version increased clock speeds but also eliminated AGP 2x (3.3v) support.

It features a unique anti-aliasing technique called fragment anti-aliasing that provides very high quality (claimed 16X-equivalent MSAA). This technique has some caveats though, such as incompatibility with stencil buffering, and so was not further developed.

The first Matrox chip with full DVD acceleration.

It does not support Windows 9x.

===Parhelia-LX===
[[File:Matrox P650.jpg|thumb|Matrox Millennium P650 Rev. B]]
This chip is designed to make Parhelia solutions more affordable. Key differences are:
*128-bit memory bus instead of 256-bit
*2 pixel pipelines instead of 4

One of the most common boards based on this logic was marketed as ''Matrox Millennium P650''. It comes with dual DVI, 64MB of RAM and a fanless cooling system. It fairs well in period 3D-applications and games, although it will be slower than GeForce4 Ti most of the time. Like the Parhelia, these boards have no driver support for Windows 9x.

Like the Impression, it is a rudimentary 3D accelerator with support for gouraud shading. It does not support hardware texture mapping. It is not Direct3D compatible. There were a few games included with the card that interfaced with it.

===Mystique===
[[File:Mystique 2.jpg|thumb|Mystique]]

''See main article: [[Matrox Mystique]]''

[[Matrox Mystique]] is a 2D/3D/video accelerator for PC. Matrox released their first Mystique on August 14, 1996. Newer versions, including Mystique 220, kept appearing until summer 1997. The videocard usually had 2-4 Mb SGRAM expandable to 8MB with a special memory add-on card. However, apart from higher resolutions, upgrading memory did not make much difference.

Mystique was oriented on mid-end consummer and business market, offering excellent 2D performance, traditional for Matrox. It also has basic 3D capabilities, delivered mainly through Matrox Simple Interface API. As for the 2D part, it's safe to say the videocard has no known flaws. The image is crisp, has fine colors. But the 3D part lacked a lot of functions, which were removed to improve overall performance. Overall, [[Matrox Mystique]] is a good choice for 2D graphics alongside [[3dfx]] Voodoo.

===Millennium II===
[[File:Matroxmillennium2.jpg|thumb|Millenium II 8MB PCI]]
This chip is mysteriously similar to Mystique but it uses WRAM instead of SGRAM and this gives it higher high-resolution GUI performance. The 3D acceleration appears to be identical with even the same bugs.

It comes in both AGP and PCI versions.

===G100===
This was primarily a budget VGA/GUI "productivity" accelerator card. It has somewhat improved 3D hardware compared to the Mystique and Millennium II, with bilinear filtering, but it still lacks critical features like full alpha blending.

===G200===
[[File:MatroxG200.jpg|thumb|Millennium G200]]
The G200 is Matrox's first in-house 3D accelerator with full Direct3D 5 feature compliance. It typically comes with 8MB RAM and is capable of rendering at any resolution that can fit within that. It is capable of 32-bit rendering color depth although the performance hit is considerable. It is AGP 2x compliant and can use AGP texturing.

Unreal and Unreal Tournament may display an incorrect, overly bright image. Editing the Unreal.ini and disabling multi-texturing will fix this. Z-fighting may also be a problem and enabling 32-bit z-buffer can help this.

G200's OpenGL support was very poor until years into its life. Initially a slow OpenGL-to-Direct3D wrapper was used to support a few games. Eventually a full OpenGL driver was released at around the same time as G400's. Note that the final drivers for G200 include a OpenGL driver with a bug that breaks transparent water. This is remedied with later G400 driver package that contains a G200 OpenGL ICD. Overwrite the older ICD in the Windows directory.

Retail cards were ''Millennium G200'', ''Mystique G200'', ''Marvel G200'' and ''G200 MMS''. Millennium uses SGRAM while Mystique has slightly slower SDRAM but also TV-output. Marvel features video in/out capabilities. There is also a G250 chip which was OEM-only. It is built on 250nm manufacturing instead of G200's 350nm and typically does not need a heatsink.

===G400===
[[File:MatroxMillenniumG400Max.JPG|thumb|Millennium G400 Max]]
The G400 was essentially an improved and upgraded G200. Main improvements include 2 rendering pipelines, 128-bit memory bus, dual VGA monitor output, Direct3D 6 compliance, and environmental bump mapping support (EMBM). It is over twice as fast as Millennium G200. The G400 Max was similar in performance to TNT2 Ultra and Voodoo3 3500.

It lacks most DVD acceleration features but has an interesting DVD Max mode for output onto the second display.

Initially the card did not have an OpenGL driver. Matrox compensated for over a year with a miniGL called TurboGL which supported mainly Quake 1/2/3-based games. In early 2000 the final OpenGL driver was ready.

Variants include the ''Millennium G400'', ''Millennium G400 Max'', ''Marvel G400'', and ''Marvel G400-TV''. There are also a number of OEM models with different specifications. Some cards come with slightly slower SDRAM instead of SGRAM.

===G450===
A cost-reduced version of G400 with similar performance and features. G400 Max is faster.

Retail products were ''Millennium G450'' and ''Marvel G450 eTV''.

===G550===
A Direct3D 6 GPU in practice. It does have a hardware transform and lighting unit but it is not Direct3D 7 compliant. This was only used for the Headcasting software. Performance of this card is slightly above the G400 and G450.

The retail model was ''Millennium G550''.

===Parhelia===
[[File:MatroxParhelia128.jpg|thumb|Parhelia revision 1]]
Matrox's first Direct3D 8 accelerator, although it was initially advertised has having partial D3D9 capabilities. Performance is similar to a GeForce4 Ti. Initial version of the GPU has some bugs with secondary displays and also shipped with a low clock speed because of manufacturing difficulties. A later version increased clock speeds but also eliminated AGP 2x (3.3v) support.

It features a unique anti-aliasing technique called fragment anti-aliasing that provides very high quality (claimed 16X-equivalent MSAA). This technique has some caveats though, such as incompatibility with stencil buffering, and so was not further developed.

The first Matrox chip with full DVD acceleration.

It does not support Windows 9x.

===Parhelia-LX===
This chip is designed to make Parhelia solutions more affordable. Key differences are:
*128-bit memory bus instead of 256-bit
*2 pixel pipelines instead of 4

One of the most common boards based on this logic was marketed as Matrox Millenium P650. It comes with dual DVI, 64MB of RAM and a fanless cooling system. It fairs well in period 3D-applications and games, although it will be slower then GeForce4 Ti most of the time. Like the Parhelia, these boards have no driver support for Windows 9x.

WereLion7: Added CT-6OJA3T

This is a non-exhaustive list of [[Socket 8 / Slot 1 / Socket 370 Motherboards#Socket 370|Socket 370 motherboards]] in the form of a comparison table. Motherboards are compared in regard to features that might be important to a builder when building a retro [[Intel CPUs#Socket 370|Pentium 3]]-based machine. This table focuses on motherboards supporting Tualatin processors and/or DDR memory.

Be wary that even though some motherboard model numbers are included here as having an ISA slot, on some boards (like OEM versions of the retail boards) the ISA slot may have been omitted.

List of Socket 370 motherboards

2018-04-02T19:30:34Z

WereLion7: Added BX133-RAID

This is a non-exhaustive list of [[Socket 8 / Slot 1 / Socket 370 Motherboards#Socket 370|Socket 370 motherboards]] in the form of a comparison table. Motherboards are compared in regard to features that might be important to a builder when building a retro [[Intel CPUs#Socket 370|Pentium 3]]-based machine. This table focuses on motherboards supporting Tualatin processors and/or DDR memory.

Be wary that even though some motherboard model numbers are included here as having an ISA slot, on some boards (like OEM versions of the retail boards) the ISA slot may have been omitted.

Socket 8 / Slot 1 / Socket 370 Motherboards

2018-04-02T18:17:06Z

WereLion7: Added i840

== Socket 8 ==
[[File:Dual_Socket_8_Motherboard.JPG|200px|thumb||Socket 8 Motherboard with CPUs]]
Socket 8 was introduced in November 1995 and is the initial platform used for the P6 architecture, the Pentium Pro CPU. It was primarily used for workstations and servers, and mostly ignored by home users. Motherboards and the CPU itself were pricey, and Pentium Pro is not necessarily a significant improvement for typical home user applications. In the worst case, running 8/16-bit code, the PPro can be slower than a Pentium at the same clock speed. In the best case with 32-bit code or heavy FPU operation, it far outperforms Pentium.

For gamers the PPro was an exciting development. Its various improvements were highly beneficial for emerging 3D games. It can occasionally outperform the bottom Pentium II models.

The initial chipsets from Intel, 450KX/GX, are not ideal for gaming because of PCI deficiencies. It is best to use a later 440FX-based board. It is also a good idea to try the FastVid utility when playing SVGA DOS games because PCI throughput can be dramatically improved. Windows 9x video drivers usually take care of this though.

==== Chipsets ====
*Intel 450GX "Orion"
*Intel 450KX "Mars"
*Intel 440FX "Natoma" (82441FX/82442FX/82371SB)
*Intel 440LX (82443LX/81371AB) AGP
*OPTi Discovery (82C650/651 or 650/651/652 with AGP)
*VIA 680 "Apollo P6"

== Slot 1 ==
Slot 1 was introduced in May 1997 and served as Intel's successor to Socket 7 and brought the P6 architecture to the home market. CPUs come in a cartridge which contains the CPU chip, cache chips and a cache controller. Later CPUs like Celeron "Mendocino" have on-die cache and thus the cartridge became unnecessary and so Slot 1 was replaced with Socket 370.

=== 440FX ===
Intel 440FX was the first Slot 1 chipset. It was originally designed for Pentium Pro and there are boards with both Socket 8 and Slot 1. 440FX lacks AGP, SDRAM support, and its IDE interface is limited to 16MB/s.

=== 440LX ===
440LX introduced AGP, SDRAM support, and UDMA33. It still has a 66MHz FSB limit. The fastest CPU's that will work are the Pentium II 333MHz (or a Pentium II 400MHz downclocked to 366MHz), the Slot 1 Celeron 433MHz (though faster Celerons can be installed with the use of a slotket) or a downclocked Pentium III with the Katmai core (which will be recognised as a Pentium II usually by the BIOS). Other solutions are to use a special type of slotket that lets one use a Tualatin-core Celeron which will be underclocked also, but will provide a speed up to around 1000MHz. Some of the 440LX motherboards had issues with powering more modern AGP graphics cards.

=== 440BX ===
The 440BX is an evolution of 440LX and was very popular. BX boards officially support 100MHz FSB, though many motherboard manufacturers feature other FSB speeds for overclocking. BX also supports up to 1GB of SDRAM.

440BX chipset notes:
*It doesn't support memory modules greater then 256MB.
*It's AGP slot requires 3.3v support from the AGP card.
*Overclocking the FSB to 133MHz will overclock the AGP bus to an out of spec 89MHz. PCI can remain at 33MHz with proper BIOS configuration.
*Not all BX motherboards will work with Coppermine CPUs and none support Tualatin without an adapter.

=== 440ZX ===
This chipset is a low-cost version of the much more famous 440BX. It replaces 440EX, the 440LX's low-end counterpart, adding 100MHz FSB. Few drawbacks do exist when comparing 440ZX to 440BX, although they can be considered minor for most retro builds today:
*Lacks two memory banks, only 512MB total RAM supported.
*No SMP support, so there are no dual CPU boards based on 440ZX.
*No ECC/Parity RAM supported

The marketing effort behind this was to push some of the competition aside, providing entry-level logic with all the basic 440BX features, including 100MHz FSB. While some ZX-based boards were poorly built to further reduce the costs, others were as solid and reliable as a top-branded 440BX one. The ASUS P2-99 is a good example of such board.

=== 810 ===
The 810 (codename: Whitney) is a low end Intel chipset. The original chipset supports only a FSB of 100 MHz, the enhanced 810E and 810E2 support 133 MHz. None supports AGP graphics. The ASUS P3W-E is an example of a Slot 1 motherboard with 810.

=== 815 ===
There were some Slot 1 motherboards based on the Intel 815 chipset. Examples include SOYO SY-7ISM (with both Slot 1 and Socket 370) and Abit SH6.

=== 820 ===
The i820 chipset is designed to support only RDRAM and only 1.5v AGP, although some motherboards feature special RDRAM to SDRAM bridge chip. Using the bridge significantly affects memory bandwith and overall performance.

=== 840 ===
This chipset is a workstation/server logic, SMP capable, usually found in dual CPU motherboards. The i840 supports dual-channel PC600/PC800 RDRAM, ECC or non-ECC modules. There is no option to run this chipset in a single-channel mode, so, unlike i820, modules have to be installed in matching pairs. The memory controller first introduced in i840 is quite similar to those found in later NetBurst-supporting i850 and i860. In fact, its optional Intel 82803AA MRH-R (Memory Repeater Hub) is compatible with i860 as well.

The i840 was targeted to replace the aging 440BX/GX (as the x40 name may suggest) and is therefore a collection of pioneering and unique features implemented to outperform and outshine older chipsets:
*First x86 chipset to support RDRAM.
*First Intel chipset to support AGP 4x, as well as AGP Pro.
*First Intel chipset to combine AGP and official 133MHz FSB.
*2GB of RAM (4GB with MRH-R)

The i840 board is a sensible, though expensive choice for a retro build. It will run reliably under Windows 98/98SE/ME (with single CPU and obvious RAM limitations), as well as NT4.0 and later NT-derived OSes. Retro games may benefit from faster AGP and wider RAM bus, but will lack raw CPU power compared to i815 B-Step systems due to no Tualatin support.

=== Other ===
There are some other chipsets that feature Slot 1. VIA chipsets tend to be less stable but have some advantages compared to BX because some feature AGP 2/4x, 133 MHz FSB and support for larger SDRAM memory modules.

Most Slot 1 boards are made in the ATX form factor but some AT versions have been made.

'''Today:''': Slot 1 comes with a single significant advantage that seems to outweight all other benefits, as well as all downsides, and this advantage is called "BX". There were more chipsets available for Slot 1, but most others usually have some kind of disadvantage compared to BX.
What makes BX so great and what makes BX so popular amongst retro computer enthusiasts is the great flexibility and stability BX motherboards often offer.
BX has the advantage of supporting up to 1GB of SDRAM using 4 DIMM sockets (Intels own i815 was limited to 512MB) and was a very stable platform with very few critical hardware quirks. It also has good compatibility and BX motherboards often sport as many as 3 ISA slots in addition to the then usual PCI slots and the AGP slot.
CPU support is pretty good out of the box, with basically all BX Slot 1 boards supporting anything from Klamath (early Pentium 2) and Deschutes (late Pentium 2) up to Katmai (early Pentium 3 which was only released in Slot 1 form). Quite a lot of the BX boards had native support for Coppermine Slot 1 CPUs as well, but compatibility differs between different Slot 1 BX motherboard models, often even between different revisions of the same motherboard. In some cases one revision of a certain motherboard may actually (unofficially) support Coppermine while another board with the exact same revision will not (ASUS P2B rev 1.10 being a great example of that, with rev 1.12 being the first P2B to officially support Coppermine).
Officially Slot 1 was designed to only accept Slot 1 CPUs with the higher end Coppermines being the top of the line. But these Slot 1 Coppermines are not as easy to find compared to it's Socket 370 counterparts. It is still possible to install a Socket 370 CPU into a Slot 1 motherboard by use of a slotkey and with a slotket even a 1.4GHz Tualeron CPU suddenly is within reach.

Some people also find the peculiar Slot 1 design to be interesting and in some ways it has it's advantages. One such advantage is that, as the CPU is basically one giant cartridge with the CPU cooler part of the cartridge, swapping CPUs is an easy chore which is as easy as swapping around any dedicated PCI or AGP card, one doesn't need to remove the CPU HSF, clean the old CPU of it's [[TIM]] (Thermal Interface Material), replace it with new CPU and reinstall the CPU HSF again.

The disadvantages of BX are mostly related to it's native 2x AGP slot (AGP 8x cards won't work in BX) in addition to some of it's AGP slots having problems with AGP cards which need a lot of power. Another disadvantage is BX's inability to use SDRAMs with more than 256MB per module (BX supports SDRAMs with 16MB/chip and a higher density will, at best, result in only part of the total memory size of that module being recognized).

== Socket 370 ==
:''See also: [[List of Socket 370 motherboards]]''
[[File:PGA370CPUSocket.JPG|200px|thumb||CPU socket for Intel and VIA Socket 370 type CPU's]]
Introduced in January 1999, Socket 370 was originally made as a budget CPU socket. Later it became Intel's main CPU Socket until the release of the Pentium 4, after which it moved to the budget end of the market again before being phased out altogether.

Common chipsets for Socket 370 are Intels i815 chipset and it's VIA counterparts, though other chipsets like 440BX and even 440LX were also used for Socket 370 boards. Especially the 815 and VIA 694 chipsets are very popular these days for use as a base for a retro computer. Socket 370 BX remains a good and popular option also, though the vast majority of BX boards came with Slot 1 instead of Socket 370.

A wide variety of CPU's exist for this socket, ranging from the 333MHz Celeron (with Mendocino core) all the way to the Pentium III-S 1400MHz (also known as Tualatin-S). VIA also made a variety of CPU's for this socket, though [[VIA_C3_Verified_Motherboard_List|compatibility is somewhat sketchy.]]

As this CPU socket went through a few revisions, not all Socket 370 CPU's will work in any given Socket 370 motherboard. Generally speaking there are 3 different types of motherboards using this socket: the early Celeron Mendocino-only motherboards (usually limited to a 66MHz FSB and often these boards will be equipped with Intels 440LX chipset), the Coppermine capable motherboards (having a maximum FSB of either 100MHz or 133MHz) and the Tualatin capable motherboards. Sometimes Tualatin capable motherboards have their CPU socket colored blue instead of the usual white.

To prevent usage of newer CPU's in older motherboards, Intel switched a couple pins around to prevent operation of Coppermine CPU's in the earliest Celeron-only boards and Intel repeated that trick when it started manufacturing Tualatin CPU's. This prevented the use of later chips in older motherboards, even if the right (lower) voltage could be supplied by the motherboard.

Usually Socket 370 boards have AGP slots, unless an IGP is present. The older ones have an AGP 2x (3.3V) and the newer ones have a universal 1.5V AGP 4x slot. Motherboards using ALi's M1631 (Aladdin TNT2) or Intel's i810/810E chipsets do not support an AGP slot. All Socket 370 motherboards have PCI slots and the older types of Socket 370 motherboards have ISA slots. ISA slots are more common on motherboards using non-Intel chipsets. Almost all Socket 370 motherboards are ATX (though a few AT Socket 370 motherboards are known to exist). Only [[List_of_Socket_370_motherboards|very few Tualatin motherboards featured one or 2 ISA slots]]. Usually motherboards with the Intel i815 chipset have no ISA slots, except when the motherboard is equipped with a bridge chip. The bridge chip may cause some problems when using ISA sound cards.

The Intel i810/815 chipsets also only support up to 512 MB of SDRAM. Its main competitors didn't have that limitation. Even though Socket 370 will usually come with SDRAM slots, a few Socket 370 motherboards were made that will work with either RDRAM or DDR instead.

All Intel Socket 370 CPUs have their multiplier locked, which decreases it's effectiveness when it comes to underclocking (Socket 7 doesn't have this problem and for DOS Socket 7 is overall a more popular choice). However, many Intel Socket 370 ES (Engineering Sample) CPUs and most (if not all) VIA C3 CPUs can have their CPU multiplier changed, usually by either software or from the BIOS. ES CPUs are quite rare though and not all may come with their CPU multiplier unlocked.

Because Socket 370 shares it's dimensions with Socket A, CPU Coolers for Athlon XP are physically compatible with Socket 370 and as Athlon XP CPU coolers are typically newer, beefier and easier to find, using a CPU cooler designed for Athlon XP is very popular when building a Socket 370 retro computer.
However, one should note that installing of many Socket A or Socket 370 CPU coolers for use of Socket 370 CPUs which come with an Integrated Heatspreader (or [[IHS]]) may prove difficult.

'''Today:''': Socket 370 is a very popular basis for a retro computer these days, for several reasons.
One reason is that these high-end Pentium 3 motherboards are widely available, overall very stable and flexible and it's also a well documented platform with lots of options on both the hardware side (think components like graphics cards and sound cards) as well as on the software side (Windows 98SE and ME are popular, but Windows 2000 and XP will also work). Many interesting parts for Socket 370 based retro rigs are also very common , easy to find (and often cheaply), partially because of the universal AGP slot with with the newer Socket 370 boards are usually equipped. Socket 370 boards featuring ISA slots and Tualatin CPUs (with or without the use of an adapter) combined with an ISA sound card is a very popular build for many retro computing enthusiasts.
Another pro about Socket 370 (and mostly because of the higher-end Coppermines and Tualatin-S's) is Pentium 3's relatively low power dissipation compared to it's performance, which has the added benefit that even todays PSUs will usually work with Socket 370 builds, unlike Socket A which requires strong 5v rails which modern PSUs often do not provide.

Socket 370 is overall a very good platform for both beginners as well as the more experienced retro computer enthusiasts, though motherboards that support the latest incarnation of Pentium 3 (the Tualatin) are a bit more tricky to find as these started to get hit by the capacitor plague and because Tualatin entered the market as Pentium 4 was starting to sell, meaning Socket 370 boards which support Coppermine at the most are greater in number to begin with.

List of Socket 370 motherboards

WereLion7: Added GA-6BX7

This is a non-exhaustive list of [[Socket 8 / Slot 1 / Socket 370 Motherboards#Socket 370|Socket 370 motherboards]] in the form of a comparison table. Motherboards are compared in regard to features that might be important to a builder when building a retro [[Intel CPUs#Socket 370|Pentium 3]]-based machine. This table focuses on motherboards supporting Tualatin processors and/or DDR memory.

Be wary that even though some motherboard model numbers are included here as having an ISA slot, on some boards (like OEM versions of the retail boards) the ISA slot may have been omitted.

Socket 8 / Slot 1 / Socket 370 Motherboards

2018-04-02T13:43:04Z

WereLion7:

== Socket 8 ==
[[File:Dual_Socket_8_Motherboard.JPG|200px|thumb||Socket 8 Motherboard with CPUs]]
Socket 8 was introduced in November 1995 and is the initial platform used for the P6 architecture, the Pentium Pro CPU. It was primarily used for workstations and servers, and mostly ignored by home users. Motherboards and the CPU itself were pricey, and Pentium Pro is not necessarily a significant improvement for typical home user applications. In the worst case, running 8/16-bit code, the PPro can be slower than a Pentium at the same clock speed. In the best case with 32-bit code or heavy FPU operation, it far outperforms Pentium.

For gamers the PPro was an exciting development. Its various improvements were highly beneficial for emerging 3D games. It can occasionally outperform the bottom Pentium II models.

The initial chipsets from Intel, 450KX/GX, are not ideal for gaming because of PCI deficiencies. It is best to use a later 440FX-based board. It is also a good idea to try the FastVid utility when playing SVGA DOS games because PCI throughput can be dramatically improved. Windows 9x video drivers usually take care of this though.

==== Chipsets ====
*Intel 450GX "Orion"
*Intel 450KX "Mars"
*Intel 440FX "Natoma" (82441FX/82442FX/82371SB)
*Intel 440LX (82443LX/81371AB) AGP
*OPTi Discovery (82C650/651 or 650/651/652 with AGP)
*VIA 680 "Apollo P6"

== Slot 1 ==
Slot 1 was introduced in May 1997 and served as Intel's successor to Socket 7 and brought the P6 architecture to the home market. CPUs come in a cartridge which contains the CPU chip, cache chips and a cache controller. Later CPUs like Celeron "Mendocino" have on-die cache and thus the cartridge became unnecessary and so Slot 1 was replaced with Socket 370.

=== 440FX ===
Intel 440FX was the first Slot 1 chipset. It was originally designed for Pentium Pro and there are boards with both Socket 8 and Slot 1. 440FX lacks AGP, SDRAM support, and its IDE interface is limited to 16MB/s.

=== 440LX ===
440LX introduced AGP, SDRAM support, and UDMA33. It still has a 66MHz FSB limit. The fastest CPU's that will work are the Pentium II 333MHz (or a Pentium II 400MHz downclocked to 366MHz), the Slot 1 Celeron 433MHz (though faster Celerons can be installed with the use of a slotket) or a downclocked Pentium III with the Katmai core (which will be recognised as a Pentium II usually by the BIOS). Other solutions are to use a special type of slotket that lets one use a Tualatin-core Celeron which will be underclocked also, but will provide a speed up to around 1000MHz. Some of the 440LX motherboards had issues with powering more modern AGP graphics cards.

=== 440BX ===
The 440BX is an evolution of 440LX and was very popular. BX boards officially support 100MHz FSB, though many motherboard manufacturers feature other FSB speeds for overclocking. BX also supports up to 1GB of SDRAM.

440BX chipset notes:
*It doesn't support memory modules greater then 256MB.
*It's AGP slot requires 3.3v support from the AGP card.
*Overclocking the FSB to 133MHz will overclock the AGP bus to an out of spec 89MHz. PCI can remain at 33MHz with proper BIOS configuration.
*Not all BX motherboards will work with Coppermine CPUs and none support Tualatin without an adapter.

=== 440ZX ===
This chipset is a low-cost version of the much more famous 440BX. It replaces 440EX, the 440LX's low-end counterpart, adding 100MHz FSB. Few drawbacks do exist when comparing 440ZX to 440BX, although they can be considered minor for most retro builds today:
*Lacks two memory banks, only 512MB total RAM supported.
*No SMP support, so there are no dual CPU boards based on 440ZX.
*No ECC/Parity RAM supported

The marketing effort behind this was to push some of the competition aside, providing entry-level logic with all the basic 440BX features, including 100MHz FSB. While some ZX-based boards were poorly built to further reduce the costs, others were as solid and reliable as a top-branded 440BX one. The ASUS P2-99 is a good example of such board.

=== 810 ===
The 810 (codename: Whitney) is a low end Intel chipset. The original chipset supports only a FSB of 100 MHz, the enhanced 810E and 810E2 support 133 MHz. None supports AGP graphics. The ASUS P3W-E is an example of a Slot 1 motherboard with 810.

=== 815 ===
There were some Slot 1 motherboards based on the Intel 815 chipset. Examples include SOYO SY-7ISM (with both Slot 1 and Socket 370) and Abit SH6.

=== 820 ===
The i820 chipset is designed to support only RDRAM and only 1.5v AGP, although some motherboards feature special RDRAM to SDRAM bridge chip. Using the bridge significantly affects memory bandwith and overall performance.

=== Other ===
There are some other chipsets that feature Slot 1. VIA chipsets tend to be less stable but have some advantages compared to BX because some feature AGP 2/4x, 133 MHz FSB and support for larger SDRAM memory modules.

Most Slot 1 boards are made in the ATX form factor but some AT versions have been made.

'''Today:''': Slot 1 comes with a single significant advantage that seems to outweight all other benefits, as well as all downsides, and this advantage is called "BX". There were more chipsets available for Slot 1, but most others usually have some kind of disadvantage compared to BX.
What makes BX so great and what makes BX so popular amongst retro computer enthusiasts is the great flexibility and stability BX motherboards often offer.
BX has the advantage of supporting up to 1GB of SDRAM using 4 DIMM sockets (Intels own i815 was limited to 512MB) and was a very stable platform with very few critical hardware quirks. It also has good compatibility and BX motherboards often sport as many as 3 ISA slots in addition to the then usual PCI slots and the AGP slot.
CPU support is pretty good out of the box, with basically all BX Slot 1 boards supporting anything from Klamath (early Pentium 2) and Deschutes (late Pentium 2) up to Katmai (early Pentium 3 which was only released in Slot 1 form). Quite a lot of the BX boards had native support for Coppermine Slot 1 CPUs as well, but compatibility differs between different Slot 1 BX motherboard models, often even between different revisions of the same motherboard. In some cases one revision of a certain motherboard may actually (unofficially) support Coppermine while another board with the exact same revision will not (ASUS P2B rev 1.10 being a great example of that, with rev 1.12 being the first P2B to officially support Coppermine).
Officially Slot 1 was designed to only accept Slot 1 CPUs with the higher end Coppermines being the top of the line. But these Slot 1 Coppermines are not as easy to find compared to it's Socket 370 counterparts. It is still possible to install a Socket 370 CPU into a Slot 1 motherboard by use of a slotkey and with a slotket even a 1.4GHz Tualeron CPU suddenly is within reach.

Some people also find the peculiar Slot 1 design to be interesting and in some ways it has it's advantages. One such advantage is that, as the CPU is basically one giant cartridge with the CPU cooler part of the cartridge, swapping CPUs is an easy chore which is as easy as swapping around any dedicated PCI or AGP card, one doesn't need to remove the CPU HSF, clean the old CPU of it's [[TIM]] (Thermal Interface Material), replace it with new CPU and reinstall the CPU HSF again.

The disadvantages of BX are mostly related to it's native 2x AGP slot (AGP 8x cards won't work in BX) in addition to some of it's AGP slots having problems with AGP cards which need a lot of power. Another disadvantage is BX's inability to use SDRAMs with more than 256MB per module (BX supports SDRAMs with 16MB/chip and a higher density will, at best, result in only part of the total memory size of that module being recognized).

== Socket 370 ==
:''See also: [[List of Socket 370 motherboards]]''
[[File:PGA370CPUSocket.JPG|200px|thumb||CPU socket for Intel and VIA Socket 370 type CPU's]]
Introduced in January 1999, Socket 370 was originally made as a budget CPU socket. Later it became Intel's main CPU Socket until the release of the Pentium 4, after which it moved to the budget end of the market again before being phased out altogether.

Common chipsets for Socket 370 are Intels i815 chipset and it's VIA counterparts, though other chipsets like 440BX and even 440LX were also used for Socket 370 boards. Especially the 815 and VIA 694 chipsets are very popular these days for use as a base for a retro computer. Socket 370 BX remains a good and popular option also, though the vast majority of BX boards came with Slot 1 instead of Socket 370.

A wide variety of CPU's exist for this socket, ranging from the 333MHz Celeron (with Mendocino core) all the way to the Pentium III-S 1400MHz (also known as Tualatin-S). VIA also made a variety of CPU's for this socket, though [[VIA_C3_Verified_Motherboard_List|compatibility is somewhat sketchy.]]

As this CPU socket went through a few revisions, not all Socket 370 CPU's will work in any given Socket 370 motherboard. Generally speaking there are 3 different types of motherboards using this socket: the early Celeron Mendocino-only motherboards (usually limited to a 66MHz FSB and often these boards will be equipped with Intels 440LX chipset), the Coppermine capable motherboards (having a maximum FSB of either 100MHz or 133MHz) and the Tualatin capable motherboards. Sometimes Tualatin capable motherboards have their CPU socket colored blue instead of the usual white.

To prevent usage of newer CPU's in older motherboards, Intel switched a couple pins around to prevent operation of Coppermine CPU's in the earliest Celeron-only boards and Intel repeated that trick when it started manufacturing Tualatin CPU's. This prevented the use of later chips in older motherboards, even if the right (lower) voltage could be supplied by the motherboard.

Usually Socket 370 boards have AGP slots, unless an IGP is present. The older ones have an AGP 2x (3.3V) and the newer ones have a universal 1.5V AGP 4x slot. Motherboards using ALi's M1631 (Aladdin TNT2) or Intel's i810/810E chipsets do not support an AGP slot. All Socket 370 motherboards have PCI slots and the older types of Socket 370 motherboards have ISA slots. ISA slots are more common on motherboards using non-Intel chipsets. Almost all Socket 370 motherboards are ATX (though a few AT Socket 370 motherboards are known to exist). Only [[List_of_Socket_370_motherboards|very few Tualatin motherboards featured one or 2 ISA slots]]. Usually motherboards with the Intel i815 chipset have no ISA slots, except when the motherboard is equipped with a bridge chip. The bridge chip may cause some problems when using ISA sound cards.

The Intel i810/815 chipsets also only support up to 512 MB of SDRAM. Its main competitors didn't have that limitation. Even though Socket 370 will usually come with SDRAM slots, a few Socket 370 motherboards were made that will work with either RDRAM or DDR instead.

All Intel Socket 370 CPUs have their multiplier locked, which decreases it's effectiveness when it comes to underclocking (Socket 7 doesn't have this problem and for DOS Socket 7 is overall a more popular choice). However, many Intel Socket 370 ES (Engineering Sample) CPUs and most (if not all) VIA C3 CPUs can have their CPU multiplier changed, usually by either software or from the BIOS. ES CPUs are quite rare though and not all may come with their CPU multiplier unlocked.

Because Socket 370 shares it's dimensions with Socket A, CPU Coolers for Athlon XP are physically compatible with Socket 370 and as Athlon XP CPU coolers are typically newer, beefier and easier to find, using a CPU cooler designed for Athlon XP is very popular when building a Socket 370 retro computer.
However, one should note that installing of many Socket A or Socket 370 CPU coolers for use of Socket 370 CPUs which come with an Integrated Heatspreader (or [[IHS]]) may prove difficult.

'''Today:''': Socket 370 is a very popular basis for a retro computer these days, for several reasons.
One reason is that these high-end Pentium 3 motherboards are widely available, overall very stable and flexible and it's also a well documented platform with lots of options on both the hardware side (think components like graphics cards and sound cards) as well as on the software side (Windows 98SE and ME are popular, but Windows 2000 and XP will also work). Many interesting parts for Socket 370 based retro rigs are also very common , easy to find (and often cheaply), partially because of the universal AGP slot with with the newer Socket 370 boards are usually equipped. Socket 370 boards featuring ISA slots and Tualatin CPUs (with or without the use of an adapter) combined with an ISA sound card is a very popular build for many retro computing enthusiasts.
Another pro about Socket 370 (and mostly because of the higher-end Coppermines and Tualatin-S's) is Pentium 3's relatively low power dissipation compared to it's performance, which has the added benefit that even todays PSUs will usually work with Socket 370 builds, unlike Socket A which requires strong 5v rails which modern PSUs often do not provide.

Socket 370 is overall a very good platform for both beginners as well as the more experienced retro computer enthusiasts, though motherboards that support the latest incarnation of Pentium 3 (the Tualatin) are a bit more tricky to find as these started to get hit by the capacitor plague and because Tualatin entered the market as Pentium 4 was starting to sell, meaning Socket 370 boards which support Coppermine at the most are greater in number to begin with.
