Celeron II on a BX board?

[scooby]

I've got a Commate P2BXA Motherboard with a Celeron 466 on a PPGA to Slot1 adapter. Would I be able to upgrade to a newer celeron (566 or up)without buying a new Motherboard?

Not sure about that board, but a friend of mine has an original BH6 (read: OLD BX Based) and went from a C400 to a C2-600.

does the voltage selection go down to the c2 setting 1.65v I believe?

 

[mamisano]

If not, can't that be taken car of on the SlotKet?

Thanks for the Help so far. The voltage on the motherbard will go from 1.3 to 3.5, the manual says it's supposed to auto-detect the voltage from the CPU so I should be good there. Will I have to get a new Slocket? The ones I see advertised with the celII's don't look any different. Anyway Thanks for the info...

I'm running a C633@981 on an Abit BX6 board. As long as you can set the voltage low enough you should be all set. As far as the slotket goes it needs to be FC-PGA. I'm using the MSI 6905.

Good Luck.

The ASUS, MSI, and IWIL slotkets are the best. I always use ASUS since I use ASUS motherboards...

I'm about to slap a c566 in my ASUS P2B rev 1.02. I'll let you know how it goes.

Guys,

I'm using a Celeron II 633@1063 on my 2.5 years old 440BX based Asus P2B rev. 1.02. Please don't email me on how because I just wrote an article on it. It will be post on Overclocker.com in a week or so.

scooby,

Just make sure your BIOS support it. Fortunately, your voltages are OK. Best would be to buy an MSI slocket and therefore you can set whatever voltage you want. Ie. You might be able to run that Celly at 100 FSB with a good voltage boost, say to 1.7 or 1.8.

Godsend1,

Your board needs to be updated to the latest BIOS (I think 1012), and then you need to get MSI slocket or something (MSI MS-6905 Master). If it doesn't boot at stock voltage, then set it to 1.8 V. Make sure you have good cooling.

Hmmm I dont know about your board but there certainly is no guaranty for succes. I ve got an old Asus p2b rev. 1.02 which is also a first gen. bx and Ive tried everything but I cant get a cel 600 to work on a asus converter s133. Tried different fsbs and different memory but it just wont boot. Cant even access the bios. Doesnt get that far

There are a lot of succes stories out there, but it just isnt certain.
