| 160960 | 2003-07-19 01:08:00 | I have noticed these converters in trade-me Do they work with all celerons or only those running at 100 mhz? How well do they work ? I have a 440 LX chipset so what would be the fastest celeron i could run if i wanted to upgrade ? i know it only runs at 66mhz so would i be able to convert? Thanks for any thoughts on these questions |

| 160961 | 2003-07-19 04:31:00 | in theory the fastest speed the 440LX chipset will allow is 333 (5x multiplier by 66mhz fsb) however a faster CPU should run, albeit at a slower pace... I have run a PII 450 on my 440LX board... but dont take that as an indication that it will be the same for you... How well they work depends on the quality of the convertor you get... a brand name slocket (nickname for the convertor) will usually provide good results and more tweaking options, whereas a cheaper no-name slocket may only provided limited configurability, and hence an increased chance of problems. If I were you I'd look at sidegrading to a 440BX chipset based motherboard first, that'll give you far better cpu upgrade options |
