Intel Celeron.

Going up to a 1ghz celeron in that machine...will do it some good....but make sure you jump the ram up too....to say 256 megs minimum....

The motherboard can run either at 66 or at 100 fbs. I not for sure what the jumper might look like. Can someone so me a pic of a jumper? So I have an idea of what I'm looking for. I am going to put another stick of 128 in there. I should have one laying around here some where that should work for it. Also I am going to put my old pci Geforce4 Mx 440 in there so he can have something better than the on board video. I knew all them old parts would come in handy one day.

I was in the Hp bios and I seen something called Frequency Ratio. The description said select the internal frequency multipilier of cpu. I can tell it deals with the cpu but does it do? I could set it from 2x up to 8x.

[Sarrkazztic]

the frequency is the multiplier you multiply that number times the front side bus to get the processor selection....for example 100mhz fsb x 8x multiplier = 800mhz

One users experience with your system and the adapter your considering can be found here.

Great link. Seem pretty easy to do but I did not understand # 1 in his instructions "1. Had to cut off with Dremel tool and cut off wheel the led section of adapter smooth with processor. Wipe residue carefully from edge of Neo. This operation is required to clear the small capacitors alongside the socket. (Man, I hated doing that!!)" What exactly is he talking about?

You've got a good working 466mhz and your thinking bout modding the main board just to get a bit better mhz? I hope this is a spare PC you can risk...
Based on what you have posted you should be able to run a cel at 8x66fsb(533) or maybe a Pent at 8x100fsb (800mhz)
But get a cpu that fits the socket.

The adapter was so big, it hit some capacitors , so to get it to seat right, he had to do some modification work to it.

Ok. I do not want mod the mobo. But I went by the Intel website and check to see the highest cpu the board can take. Well there are 6 different models of the i810 mobo but all of them supported up to atleast Pentuim 3 800 mhz. So basicly intel says it can take up to 800 mhz pentium but Hp tells me it can't. So I'm confused.

Ok my nephew got a computer of a friend for 50 dollars and its better than this one. I was offered a Pentuim 3 933 mhz for free. What I am looking to do is build an extra pc with the parts from the Hp. Here is what I reuse.

128 meg sd ram
pci ethernet card
pci graphics card
pci sound card
cd rw drive
floppy drive
20 gig hd
Pentuim 3 933 mhz socket 370
And of course the key board etc..

So basicly what I am looking for is a Bare bone kit with no intergraded parts on mobo. Any one know a site that would have one that I could reuse these parts in.

Ok I have made a second pc mainly for work. Intel did make Socket 370 PPGA cpu up to 1.1 in Celeron form only. But you have to have a front bus of 100 mhz to run them after Celeron 533. Luckly this old machine has supports 100 mhz. Basicly can get some more time out fo this pc. It working much faster now. I bought the celeron 1.1 gig off of ebay for 5 US dollars and another stick of 128 for 2 dollars. Not to bad for 7 dollars. If you are to buy one for an old pc make sure it runs off of coppermine.
