CPU Problem (go to the end)

[zmzhang]

i have just decided to upgraded my celeron to a 300mhz one. How do i remove my oreginal and install the new one? It is the slot 1 type (the kind that you install on its side).
Thanks

if it's the slot variety you should be able to just pull it out straight like a pci card, but make sure there isn't anything holding it onto the motherboard around the cpu, if there is then there should be 4 plastic pins in the corner of it, just pull each one of those out and remove the retaining device before pulling the chip out.

It seems kinda odd that you're upgrading to a 300mhz. What did you have in there now?

 

[zmzhang]

Don't laugh though. In my comp right now, i have a 133mhz pentuim. And my friend gave me his old motherboard which supports celerons and p2s from 200-450mhz

nobody's laughing, I hope.
speed isn't everything!

If you have a Motherboard that supports Celerons and PII up to 450 mhz it is probably a BX board. I am running a Celeron 566@850 mhz in my BX board.

If it is a BX board you could just a bios update from the manufactures website and plugin a CPU a lot quicker than 300mhz.

Consider a pretested Celeron 533 that clocks to 800.

First, find out the board type and see what is supported.

Before anyone speaks, there is nothing wrong with buying a pretested CPU. It doesn't bother me to take the &quot;fun&quot; out of OCing.

It might not be a BX chipset, wasn't there something just before that called lx, gx, or zx. Its a possibility that it could have one of these chipsets.

My mother board is SpaceWalker HOT-637 Version2 and I have a award bios. How would i upgrade the bios? thanks

Saw that you had a C266 in one of your rigs . My C266 easily did 450 Mhz at 112 Bus speed
that is a 70 % overklock. remember it fondly........

 

[zmzhang]

The c266 is what i use to &quot;play&quot; on. I am not done putting all of my computers on the list.

*bump*. I couldn't find any bios upgrades for my space walker mother board. Help?

Here is your bios upgrade: Spacewalker 637 bios

Btw, here is Anandtech's review of your motherboard: Shuttle 637

Had this board in the past. It is a LX board, fsb: 66, 75 , 83 , not a bad board , but limited overcklocking posibilities and you cant put a vid card with more than 16 Mb mem.

Thanks, I just installed it and when i boot up, it says ----mmx 450mhz
and stalls. The cpu is a 300a celeron. What is going on?

Probably insufficient cooling.

 

[Diesel21]

Your FSB is at 100mhz, change it to 66.

 

[zmzhang]

My motherboard doesn't support 100mhz bus. But the person who used this cpu before, had and overclocked the bus to 100mhz. I tried to set the cpu clock speed to 50mhz and the same thing occured.
