Motherboard compatibility is a big problem for Celeron II's above 533 MHz. I did a little checking on Anand's site, looking at motherboard reviews for socket 370 after 1/1/2000. Here's what I found: Review Date & Mobo Chipset MaxMultiplier Notes Abit ZM6 Intel ZX 2/17/99 8x Abit VA6 VIA Apollo 133A 2/8/00 8x 8x max from PDF manual AOpen MX64 VIA Apolla 133A 1/31/00 8x DFI PW-65E Intel i810E 3/26/00 8x Elitegroup VIA Apollo133 4/15/00 8x EPoX EP3VCA VIA Apollo133A 2/8/00 8x FIC KA-11 VIA Apollo133A 1/20/00 8x FIC KW15 Intel i810E 2/5/00 8x Freetech P6F107 Intel BX 9/18/99 8x ShuttleAV64 VIA Apollo133A 3/4/00 8x Supermicro PIIISED i810E 1/23/00 6x Transcend TSUWH31 i810 1/16/00 8x Tyan S1854 VIA Apollo133A 1/11/00 8x In the complete list of Socket 370 motherboards reviewed in Y2K, there is NOT ONE that can work with a Celeron over 533 MHz! I believe this is a chipset problem that cannot be corrected with a BIOS upgrade, since 8X is listed as the limit in the specifications of several I have checked.
