Greg,
Based on your share, I believe my P3's are Tualatin class; at least
based on what I see and web pix of same. Yes, my only upgrade would be
to the 1.4GHz devices. I shopped them 2 years back. Still fairly
expensive 'old' rocks! Was never able to find a matched pair; or
multiples of the s-spec(s) for dual operation. I sorta backed off and
decided that the planet had lots of these cpus happily burning trons
doing business....or, living in landfills! LOL!
Yes, I have been happy with the power consumption of this server.
Thought it would be huge. No. As stated, even when under load the
heatsinks are only comfortably warm.
Thanks for the background specs.
Best,
Duncan

Depends on the chip. The Coppermine-based PIII was offered up to 1133MHz
(IIRC, the 1.13 was recalled after excessive heat caused stability issues)
with Intel's 180nm process. The Tualatin PIII was offered between 1.0 and
1.4GHz, and was based on the 130nm process. It was basically used as a
volume test shuttle for the upcoming 130nm Northwood P4.
Why is this important? The 130nm PIII's required much less voltage and ran
MUCH cooler than the 180nm versions. Your 1.3 is definitely a cool-running
Tualatin; Duncan's 1.0 could be either the hot Coppermine or the cool
Tualatin. You can use CPU-Z to find out.
What's funny is that the power consumption by either chip is considered near
mobile-class by today's standards. The TDP on my i7-930 is over 4 times that
of even the Coppermine.

Winterlight,
Very nice idea. Understand the plastic getting brittle over time. I
will search. And, I may still have some small monitored 12v fans I can
"retrofit" here. Agree on the cooling load. The heat sinks are really
large based on my past P3 experience. I have never "felt" them much
above "warm" even years ago when I did sorta manage to drive both cpus
to 100% (per task mgr) for ~30 minutes.
Gotz to love the collective!
Best,

I've just junked half a dozen old P3 machines 1.3Ghz CPU, not a fan in
sight !
Large U shaped heatsinks though. I don't recall them getting more than
warm.
