Help - PPGA/FC-PGA -Slot 1 Convertor

[VanMcGee]

I currently have a bc mobo (AOpen P6) which is slot 1.
I am using a PPGA adapter so that my Celeron works with the mobo.

My question is...

If I upgrade to a FC-PGA P3750 CPU, will I need a new adaptor...or can the FC-PGA CPU fit into the adaptor I currently use? (a PPGA-Slot 1 Slocket).

p.s. What kind of performance will I see going from a Celeron 500 (overclocked) to a P3 700?
My money is tight and I dont want to get rid of the mobo I currently own.

what make &amp; model is your slocket?

It's a piece of crap one I found at my local computer store. The box was all blue and I dont recall a name.

I finally found an article that answered my question.

&quot;AnandTech recently got its hands on Iwill's Slocket II adapter -- one of two from a major manufacturer with FC-PGA support that is currently available. However, there are a few snags to be wary of when trying to convert a FC-PGA Pentium III to Slot-1. Because the pin definitions have changed between the Socket-370 PPGA Celeron and the FC-PGA Pentium III, older Socket-370 to Slot-1 adapters do not support the Pentium III. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the adapter is FC-PGA compliant.&quot;

My old converter will probably not be FC-PGA compliant.
