Update on "slocket" converters

[Erasmus-X]

I went ahead and got the IWill Slocket II, because it was available locally (the MSI was not). I have it installed on a Supermicro PIIISED mobo (i810E chipset) and I just have one question. The installed CPU is a .18u Celeron 633 and it gets detected by the BIOS as a PIII 650. There's a jumper setting on the slocket for "Coppermine" and "Celeron" CPU. I have it set to "Coppermine," going by the core that this CPU has (I was assuming that the Celeron setting was for the older Celeron core, but I might be wrong). The slocket came with no documentation (just a sticker on the back of the unit with jumper configs), which is why I'm asking you guys (preferably those who have experience with this product). For all I know it's probably a BIOS thing that needs to be updated.

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.

A BIOS update should take care of the problem. My Celeron 566 @ 952 was reported as a Pentium III 952 until I flashed the BIOS on my BF6 to the newest release.

If it works, though, I wouldn't be terribly worried about what the BIOS reports. It's meaningless.

Yeah, I know......I was just wondering. The system runs just fine.

Update:

I just flashed the motherboard's BIOS to the newest revision and now the processor gets properly detected as a Celeron, but still at 650MHz instead of 633MHz. Not a big deal though, since it gets detected by CPUID as a 633.

Try setting it to 66MHz FSB, or set it to Celeron instead.

Already did that, along with 66MHz FSB. Oh well, it doesn't really matter too much; it works and that's all that really matters. Thanks for all of the replies.
