can i use a 'normal' socket 370 board for a tualatin celeron ?
i want to replace my PIII 600 with a 1.3ghz celeron

Sorry - no. It won't work at all.

Get one of these:

Excellent piece and easy to set up.

can i supply the tua celeron with 1.85v core voltage and good cooling or use a slot 1 to socket 370 converter my mainboard have both slot 1 and socket 370.

Sorry - no. The pinout is different. There are no Tualatin slotkets. Coppermine was the last slotket made.

BipolarBill probably forgot about PowerLeap (http://www.powerleap.com) :rolleyes: ;)
So the answer is actually YES :)

Yeah! the converter is only $169.95 lol. you could buy a premium 370 tualatin board and some ram for that.

Guilty as charged. I clean fergot about that! I do believe that the CPU is included too. Quite the deal! :cool:

Seeing how it comes with the cpu that means its what like $30-$40 for the adaptor. Thats no too bad.;) :t

Most socket 370 chipsets came in two steppings, since Intel changed the voltage requirements and how some of the pins related to voltage were read with the Tualatin. If your particular socket 370 doesn't support the Tualatin, then it won't even boot if you just plug it in (it does physically fit into the socket). Your options are to get an adapter or I've heard of a pin mod that supposedly works. In that case it will boot, but your voltage will be out of spec because Cumine boards can't supply the voltage required by the Tualatin. Thus you will be voiding your warranty by mod'ing the pins and then running at a rather high voltage. IMHO, you're better off just restricting yourself to Cumine processors. Depending on the particular 'flavour' of Pentium you currently have, even a 1GHz Celeron might be an improvement. A 1GHz PIII certainly would be, but at what price?

1ghz PIII & celeron ???
does this thing overclock well ??
1Ghz is nearly the end of the coppermine.
