I'm in desperate need of a:

Pentium III 700+ (800mhz preferred), 100mhz FSB, non-Pentium EB CPU for an Asus P3B-F

I've looked everywhere and can't find it. If anyone know where I can buy one I'd appreciate it.

 

Since I have both PIII and AMD K7, I will suggest you to go with AMD K7... for the cheaper price with better performance...

I've got several PIII sitting on my desk at home. I'll check when I get home and see what I have.

 

my friend is selling a P3 900mhz Dell for dirt cheap.. dunno if that helps..but i know he's trying to dump that thing.. so he could repair his bike..

 

P3B-F is an old motherboard.

To go beyond 600 MHz, you need to update your BIOS.

That's not that big of a problem.
The problem is that it takes SLOT 1 CPUs.
Those are hard to come by. If you are looking for 800MHz or above.....I haven't seen any new or used.
If you are looking for 400-750, it's possible to find some new or used. I'm not saying it's easy, but you can find them.
I happen to have a bunch of 750s around for all those old dual slot 1 motherboards from asus. No, I can't spare any, unfortunately.

It might pay to just trash that motherboard an get a new one.
Get yourself a nice new motherboard with AMD 761 chipset and get yourself an athlon 1.33. You should be able to get both (combined) for less than $250, and build a system that beats the crap out of a P4-1.7. (or possibly 1.8)

When you do find a slot 1 PIII-800, it will probably cost you $200 to $300....so think about it. It's not worth it!!
