CPU Upgrade? Will it work?

I have an old HP Pavilion XE748 that has a 700mhz Celly in it. I know the mobo in it is a cheap modified Asus CUW-AM. It has the Intel 810 chipset in it if that helps. I am wondering if it will run the new 1.3ghz Celly with a 100mhz FSB. Intel says that the 810 chipset works with the new 100mhz bus speed. So I dunno.

As long as you don't grab a P4-based Celeron, I believe you'll be fine.

No, it's not P4 based because Intel makes the Celeron's up to 1.4ghz as socket 370. Then anything higher than 1.4ghz is Socket 478. I am assuming that is what you mean by P4 based, right?

If you can get the mboard running at 100 MHz, this would be well worth your while. The C-700 runs on a 66MHx bus, I think.

Yeah, that is right. The 700mhz does run on 66mhz bus. That is the only reason why I was asking because I didn't know if it would work with the 100mhz bus speed. I hope that it does work because that will definetely make that computer nice. To go from 128mb PC133 to 512mb PC133. Then from 1mb built-in gpx to an ATI Radeon 7000 64mb DDR. Those are already done. Then from a 700mhz Celly to a 1.3ghz Celly. That will be a good upgrade.

Yes, I think the Celeron 800 and above run on a 100MHz bus. Of course, you could run, say, a 1.2GHz on a 66MHx bus but it will run at 1.2 x 0.66 = 800MHz, not much help. The key would be if you can get the motherboard to run at 100 MHz.

Aren't the 1.3Ghz cellys Tualatin cores? If so then an adapter would be needed.

How would you tell if it is or not? I mean I have the proc. here at my house. This proc. is for a friend. I wanted to know if it would work before I went over there and put it in the computer.

If this helps, it is an FC-PGA2 and I just found out that the 700mhz Celly is an FC-PGA. So would I have to get an adapter or something? If so where can I get one from?

Found one doing a google search that led me to pricewatch. wwwPackage2you.com has a converter for $10.90+shipping. Lists it for $15.99 shipped from pricewatch. Package2you has a resellerrating of 7.13 six months and a lifetime of 6.97. Sounds like a good retailer and the price isn't too high. You will need this. Hope this helps.
