Abit BX6 Rev. 1 to Slot-T/Celeron 1.4Ghz?

[stefanlasiewski]

Looking for advice before I plunk down some cash.

I am looking for a cheap (< $100) upgrade for my system.

I have a Abit BX6 Rev. 1 motherboard with a Celeron 366. This is one of the older slot-1 motherboards.

According to Upgradeware, I can use one of their "Slot-T" adapter to connect a Celeron 1.4Ghz to my Slot-1 motherboard (about $20)

I'm looking at upgrading to a Celeron 1.4Ghz (Which goes for about $60 from newegg).

I'm getting confused in the new chip jargon (FC-PGA vs. PPGA & Tualatin vs whatever).

Will this combination work?

i am fighting this exact combo right now and will know in a few days. but the issue may be the PSU and the geforce4. we will see.

I use Slot-T and I love it!!
The 1.4 that you are looking at is a Tualatin
Tualatin are the last core that Intel made for the P3
I would get a 1Ghz or 1.1Ghz and try to overclock it
1Ghz to 1.3Ghz
1.1Ghz to 1.4Ghz

Overclocking on a BX6 r1 is not a good idea. There is no 1/4 PCI divider. 133 FSB = 44 MHz PCI.
