Exotic cooling is fun. Liquid Nitrogen seems like overkill and expensive unless you aim much higher than 4.5 GHz or use 'olden' CPUs
Good fortune anyway!

Does anyone still have a 1 GHz Pentium III?

The new iPad will run at 1Ghz. Start converting your checkers program to be an app to run on the iPad.

I've a P3 800, it should be the nearest answer so far

Re: Does anyone still have a 1 GHz Pentium III? Make o PIII?
There are four versions of the desktop PIII. Three that hit 1 GHz. Two distict designs of the CPU. So the question is The Coppermine(-T) or the Tualatin?

The Liquid Nitrogen overclocking exceeded a peak of 6.7 GHz for a while. It was just a way to "see if it could be done." And, actually, it's only 51 cents a gallon, or about 10 cents per pound, relatively cheap. It is more expensive to design an automatic controller to select from a bank of canisters and throttle the LN2 consistently and deliver sustained performance at the same CPU speed +/- 100 MHz than it would be to run a computer 24x7 for a month.Dan Andersson wrote:Exotic cooling is fun.

The 4.5 GHz model shown was just an external radiator system with some less-than-exotic coolant inside (plus some stuff that kills algae and bacteria of all shapes and sizes) that pulled the heat off of the CPU as it would otherwise hit about 95 degrees C running at that speed. I'm working on a Peltier cooling solution, no moving parts, that could hypothetically achieve the same thing.
Both of these systems will run at 4.5 GHz all day long. With the Intel core i7-920 architecture, this is significantly faster than anything that might be available through 2014.

What do the Fritz people say when you ask them the same question?Dan Andersson wrote:There are four versions of the desktop PIII. Three that hit 1 GHz. Two distict designs of the CPU. So the question is The Coppermine(-T) or the Tualatin?

A don't remember any 1 MHz computers, although there must have been some. A PDP8 maybe?M ANSARI wrote: ... maybe I can find a 1 Mhz system on eBay
My first computer was a TRS-80, and even that was, I think, 2.77 MHz. It still beat me at chess, though.

How would that help him win (or draw) compared to 450 MHz??

Even chessgenius 3 on a 386 16 mhz is way too strong for 99,9% or the humans

Chessgenius 3.0 on I486 was rated about 2300-2400 on SSDF 1994 .
So there are for sure more people who can compete with.
