if you give me about a week - I'll let ya know how a 1.26ghz at 512k will do. I'm going to be getting a p3tdde (supermicro) and one chip to start off.
Message me in a few days and I'll let ya know, I'm running a single 1ghz right now :D
i don't think the CUSL2 will support cpus made with the .13 micron process, i think you'll need a new board. Anandtech did a review of the new cpus <a href="http://anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1509" target="_blank">here.</a> check it out
To use the newer P3's, you will need the Asus TUSL2-C. This board will support all current versions of the P3.
I just ordered my p3 1.26 512k and the mobo for it. I'll post my marks on it here hopefully late friday :D
Well, if it wasn't for my freakin HD goin out on me, I'd have my stuff all set and ready to go - I'll try to post 'em here later on tonight
Dhrystone ALU - 3563 MIPS
Whetstone FPU - 1706 MFLOPS
p3 1.26ghz 512k - single cpu

Just because is shouldn't work, dont mean it won't.
