Does anyone know if you can put a Celeron P2 cpu in a BX chipset
motherboard? I know the BX motherboard can not have the mutiplier "lock"
feature. Has anyone done it? If so please post
Thanks,
John

Yeah, but you'll be stuck with the 4x multiplier and it's doubtful you'll
get the BX's 100MHz bus speed to work.

Yes the Celeron is lacking the 2 resistors that are needed to officially
support the 100MHz bus speed, and without a board that doesn't automatically
detect the bus speed it will default to 66Mhz. You'll still be stuck with
the 4x multiplier, and without a pretty massive heatsink/fan, 400MHz may or
may not work for you. You'll likely have greater success with 300MHz (75x4)
and 333MHz (83x4).

Thanks Eric. Anyone word on the V3300?
I am looking for a video card for my soon to be new system.
