Need to upgrade MB with new processor....

[kurtis]

I have an ASUS P3B-F MB with a converter card so I need to find a socket 370 processor. The spec for the MB is 100MHz FSB and supports up to 512kb L2 cache. I would like a Celeron for its value and the fastest I can find is 1.4Ghz. The Asus web site (see link below) has not listed this processor in its latest bios support - the list goes up to Celeron 1.1Ghz - even though the 1.4GHz has same hardware specs - will this work? Thanks!

if your motherboard will support tutaltin cpu's or your converter will allow you to use the tualtiln cpu's' then you will be fine. i think the celeron 1.1-1.4 are all the same chips just clocked differntly.

i use a slot -t slocket adapter that works on all 4 systems ive used them on. www.upgradeware.com

What exactly defines the celeron 1.4Ghz as a tualtiln cpu? Is it the pin configuration? Is it the cache? I'm using a Asus P3B-F MB with an Iwill Slocket II daughter card CPU converter. The card converts PGA370 to slot 1. The Celeron is a socket 370 type processor. Do you need more info from me about whether this will work? Thanks!
