Just upgraded to a Tualatin Celeron 1.3 from my old 1.2. I've got it running rock stable at 1612 mhz.
Attached are some Sandra 2003 cpu bencies.

Well here's a list of all the stuff: modified Asus CUBX (440BX chipset), 512 megs of micron pc133 sd ram (2x256), Hercules Prophet 4500 64mb (will be replaced with radeon 9500 pro in a few weeks), 20 gig wd (80 gig 8 meg cache replacement on the way :)), SB live value, 32x10x40 burner, 10x dvd drive, etc.
They're great little cpus, but very much a niche product. I wouldn't recommend anyone go out and buy a new tualatin board and cpu. You'd be better off investing in an athlon or p4 solution.

I'm a big fan of Tualatin stuff. Solid CPUs.
But yeah, it would be a waste of money to invest in a Tualatin setup at this point in time.

I raised my cpu voltage to 1.55v on my 1.3T and set the bus at 133 and it run at 1729 all the time and it runs rock steady. The Tualatin are good for overclocking.
Starscream,
Have you been able to hit 133 FSB in your CUBX? I have the same MB rev 1.02 but can never go beyound 124 FSB. My little tualatin 1.2 is hovering at 1488 MHZ. I'm not complaining but I would like to hit 1600 MHZ.
What mods did you do the MB? I'm not bad with a soldering iron.

that's awesome! Introducing the world's fast s370 system! Nice! And a R9500Pro should run sweet in it. I'd say the only bummer about all this is the SDRAM. Also, wouldn't it have been cheaper to get an AthlonXP2100 + ECS K7S5A, I thought tualatins are kind of expensive?
