| 594849 | 2007-09-26 01:09:00 | The power input setting seems to be correct. Do you reckon the CPU should be OK before I try to get a MB from Trademe? It's a Celeron 2.4 GHZ /128/488 CPU, it is worth salvaging? It's for my friend's 10 yr old son to play with. Cheers I dont think so anymore.... |

| 594850 | 2007-09-26 01:09:00 | You shouldn't have problems with the RAM, as long as it's the same type (DDR, not SD). I'd hope you'd be able to find something under $50, maybe budget for a little more?? I would have a look for you, but am a bit busy today. If you find something that looks good, post a link to it and we can have a look at it, if you wish. ;) |

| 594851 | 2007-09-26 01:12:00 | Just as long as the mobo you get supports 478 pin, supports Celeron CPU's and supports DDR 200/266 it''ll work. If the ram you've got is 200 or 266, they may not work in a mobo if it only supports DDR 400/333. Unless you change some settings in the BIOS. Or it'll change it for you automatically. Or you buy compatible ram. The RAMs are DDR400 |

| 594852 | 2007-09-26 01:15:00 | The RAMs are DDR400 Ah ok then the system wouldnt be running at 400 tho, as the mobo, according to the site only supports DDR 200/266. Not DDR 333/400. In that case, get a mobo that supports dual channel DDR 400, (thats if the 2 simms youve got are the same brand/speed etc), it maybe a bit faster. Whats the FSB of the CPU?? 400 or 533?? Make sure you get a mobo that supports the CPU as well. |

The CPU details printed on it reads: Celeron 2.40 GHZ/128/400 (not 488 as mentioned earlier) SL6W4 MALAY 0347A011 T347A387 0790 From the above information, can I assume that the FSB is 400? |

Yup that sounds right. 2.4 128k L2 cache and 400 fsb... If you had SDRAM, I could give you the mobo I've got here. Which I think still works, coz it's only 400 FSB (IIRC), but only takes SDRAM, NOT DDR ram. Its still got the CPU in it (1.5 P4 CPU, not a Celeron). |

How much are you prepared to let go, Speedy? |

| 594857 | 2007-09-26 02:14:00 | Where are you? Auckland? Would you want the CPU with it?? Yup. I'm in Auckland. Would prefer to have just the MB if it supports my Celeron 2.4 CPU. |
