Hi, I have just got a 2nd PC which has a 566MHz Celeron processor.  I want to upgrade the processon and use it as a backup machine.  I was just wondering, what socket is this processon, 370? and what is the best processor I can use with this socket, because i dont want to buy a new motherboard and a p4 processonr.
thank you

Let me guess.....  Sct 370 I'd hazzard.

You tell me mate!

The best CPU for a sct 370 pIII board would be a 1.13GHz 133MHz Intel Pentium® III Tualatin 512K Cache FCPGA II - if you can still find one!  Wink
Thers is a 1.4Ghz version, but there rather rare.

If you wish to use it as some sort of backup machine, I'd have thought a faster hard drive would give you better results....... 

Your money ultimately.......  Roll Eyes
