What's a good OC mobo for a Celeron 666? I've been looking, but I'm not sure what this chip will fit in.. TIA eGo

Well, answer this question at least.. I know it's a stupid one.. But what is a Celeron 666? Is it a PII or PIII Will it fit in a board that will take a PII/PIII? I really don't know.. I'm an AMD man and I have two PC's (store bought) running Celery and was looking to OC them by getting new mobos for them.. LMK eGo

First off it is a celeron 667. Intel didnt want to get offiliated with the devil. I am pretty sure it is a p2 varient with 128k. I would need to know if it is a Slot chip (slot 1) or a socket chip (370).

LoL.. Yeah, it's 10x67 lol.. so I'm guessing it's a 670 but Sears? lol.. It was advertised as a 666 lol.. Anyways.. It's a Socket 370.. Not a Slot.. Thanx.. eGo

The Celeron 2 566 uses the Coppermine-128 core and is only available in fcgpa socket form.

The motherboard I would use is an Asus CUSL2-C or Asus TUSL2-C.
Please note the difference between the CUSL2 and CUSL2-C is the CUSl2-C lacks the integrated video. Same thing with the TUSL2 & TUSL2-C.

Thanx You Guys... So any Socket 370 board will work? I know it has to be mATX form factor or it won't fit my case.. TIA! eGo

So you got a micro atx case? If thats so, then you're a lot more limited now and micro isn't conducive to overclocking.

I have a couple older gigabyte micros that handle some celeron/P3's and also have a GA-6VEML with a tualitan cpu. It does have some overclocking options but it has built in audio/video/lan and unless I put a pci video card in, cant do 3d much.

Its real nice though in an Inwin L545 with a 40gb and dvd.
