Old School is Best School Season 3 Round 5

Welcome to the Old school is Best School Season 3, a contest series created specifically for overclockers that enjoy benching on very old, classic hardware. Each month-long round features five stages, each with unique hardware and benchmarks.

In Round 5 of the Old School is Best School contest is a real trip down memory lane, involving CPUs from eras including Slot 1, Slot A and the long lost but still remembered Socket 7. Only classic ATi Rage graphics cards may be used. In terms of benchmarks, Stage 1 focuses on 3DMark99, Stage 2 is all about SuperPi 1M while Stage 3 involves HWBOT Prime. Verification screenshots and system pictures are required for each stage.

Do I assume correctly that no adaptors from slot 1 to socket 370 are allowed.

Just need to be sure before I start searching for more crap to fill the house with.

The requirement is slot 1 processor, therefore you cannot use a 370 processor.

Don't use that as a reason not to get more hardware, the more the merrier ;)

There are better boards to run 370 on than a slocket on a slot 1 board. ;)
