If a similar question has been covered previously, my apology.

I just acquired a Dell Precision 410 (supports up to dual Slot 1 P-III 700's - 7 x 100) running dual P-II 400's. I would like to upgrade the processors, but 700's are somewhat pricey.

I have been told that I can install Celeron 1.0 or 1.2 GHz chips on slockets as less expensive alternative. Any experience with this?

Questions I have are:

1. What do I do about the on-board jumpers?
2. What Celeron would you recommend?
3. What slocket? Any specific things I need to look for such as voltage setting? Ability to dual a Celeron CPU?
4. Do the new 256k cache Celerons require a different slocket than the 128k cache chips?

Any assistance would be very much appreciated. I'm not much with a soldering iron, so please keep that in mind.

Thanks to all in advance!
