Hi

I've got the chance of buying a few cpu's pretty cheap, but I wanted to find out a bit more about the type, I've hunted around on the web and theres lots of stuff out there on them, but I could do with it in plain english!

The two types are -
Intel Celeron D 2.67GHz (330J) Socket 775 256Kb Cache
&
Intel P3 1.13GHz Socket 370 FC-PGA2 256Kb OEM Tualatin

Do both of these have to have special motherboards, ie. a standard Socket 370 mobo that the PIII coppermine would work on, won't work for the FC-PGA2 Tualatin chip?

And is the socket 775 anything like a 478 pin chip and would it work on that type of board?

Many thanks

Happy.

Dont know much about the cel but the p3 is a great cpu wont fit on to many coppermine boards without a tualatin adaptor correction will fit just wont work makes a great upgrade provides a lot more depth than a coppermine cpu

Are you saying the adaptor will or won't work?

The 775 is a pinless configuration.. Very fragile looking. As far as I know it's not compatitble to any other socket type. The 775 was put in place for the up and and coming hyperthreading technology. I have a mobo that uses this socket and PCI-E video.. very choice I recommend the configuration.

It is questionable whether the Celeron D with Socket 775 is worth buying. You would have to have a motheboard with one of the newest chipset to run it. Usually the newest chipset just costs more. It is a personal decision you have to come to. Is the Socket T motherboard worth buying?

Personally if I was going to buy a socket 775 motherboard I would want a 800Mhz FSB Processor with 512k Cache to put on it. The Celeron is a 533Mhz FSB Processor with 256k Cache.

I have a tulatin core Celeron (PIII) and it is still running well for me. So a regular PIII should run great if you can locate a good quality motherboard for it. Since the Tulatin Core Processors ran so well, the motherboards can be a little hard to find. I think for the price of a Tulatin Core processor you can just buy an AMD Sempron that will run Faster.

I like the Intel chipsets for any Intel Processors.

If you do not like my post feel free to point out your opinion or my errors.

Need a FCPGA2 adaptor to use a tualatin core processor on a coppermine FCPGA board also bios must have auto detect cpu voltage enabled.
