Intel i815EEA and Celeron 1GHz

Deanodriver · 3rd January 2002, 8:41 PM

one of my friends wants to upgrade his Celeron 633 to a Celeron 1GHz, and wants to know whether this board will support it....

I am certain it does, but he still wants confirmation of that....

or what would a Celeron 1GHz be equivalent to in P3 speed (a c1000 would run as fast as what speed p3?)

Dean, I would check the Intel site to see if there is a BIOS update, which includes cD0 stepping microcode. If there is, then the chip should work fine.

To compare it to a P3, it should preform roughly the same as a 100MHz FSB P3 800e in most things.

oh yeah
thanks a lot

I'll try and see if we can get it working, if not, then If I can find a new P3 866 at a reasonable price, then I'd recommend that....

but I am pretty sure the Celeron will be used...

the board is revision 105, and it is about 15 months old....

well, although Intel's website doesn't say it supports the 1GHz Celeron, he bought one, and tried it today, and it works sweet

I think he bought it for only $165 as well
