Hi, I have an old Dell motherboard which was from Dell. It used to have a P3 1ghz on it, Socket 370, and used RIMMS. I have tried to install a Celeron 700Mhz , SOcket 370. Whne I power up, there is no signal to the monitor and there appears to be no hdd activity. Is this Celeron compatible?
 
The RDRAM came with the old PC. So, do you think just a new motherboard would be ok? I was looking at the Gigabyte GA-6VA7+, its just for word processing so doesnt have to be mind blowingly good. Would this board do, then?
 
NO NO NO. In order to use the celeron, you would need a new motherboard AND new(PC133) ram. Why did you take the P3 out in the first place?
 
I understand that I need a new motherboard and RAM. I took teh P3 out to put into a CUSL2 with a LOT MORE RAM. So, would that motherboard WITH new SDRAM be ok?
