my friend wants to upgrade to an celeron 1200 from a celeron 600... i know its a definate good upgrade but can his system handle it? i mean the motherboard... can it handle that? Its a sony-bundle, PCV-J100, and i don't know what kind of a motherboard it is. Money is an issue here, so i don't want to make him buy a new mobo with this chipset either. Any ideas if the celeron 1200 will work on his computer?
 
If the motherboard is old and not compatible with the new votlage requirements, then it isn't. You can get an Abit VH6T (like mine) for about $70 + $70 for the CPU. This would be a nice system. I'm an AMD fan, but my 1.0A Celery is a great overclocker with my board. I can get it up to 1.52GHz 100% stable and everything runs right (including the overclocked TNT2 video card!). What an overclocking champ.
 
i dunno but the system is pretty old, would that support the new voltag?
maybe i'll just ask him to get the new mobo... would all his components still work?
 
I don't think that that motherboard supports new Tualatin core CPUs (.13 um CPUs like the Celeron 1000+ and P3 1.13 +). You need a new mobo for those 🙁
 
i didn't think it would support... 😛 now, i'm used to using AMD.... so anybody have any suggestion on a good celeron 1.2ghz mobo?
 
I'd recommend the ABIT-ST6/ST6RAID. Great stability, 6 PCI slots (no ISA slots) and 1 CNR slot. Great overclocking board and it uses Intel's 815EP chipset which is much more stable then the ABIT-VH6T which uses a VIA chipset.
 
thanks! anyone know where i can get a combo for that? if not... well... i know where to get the parts, but its easier if i can get a combo. 😀
 
PowerLeap may be able to help with the Tualatin thing. I don't think there were any 600Mhz slot-1 Celerons (All over 533Mhz were Coppermine, and probably FCPGA), so their current Tualatin adapter sure won't work, but look around anyway.
