I've got a motherboard from some big OEM manufacturer from a friend. It came with a celeron 667/sockcet 370 with a 66 fsb. I was wondering that instead of a celeron, I could stick a cyrix III chip in there. I know they are both socket 370, but the cyrix III is supposed to run at a different fsb. Will it work?

Use WCPUID and check the chipset. If it is more recent than BX440, then you should be able to use C3.
