Wanted Celeron 1.1 CPU (1 Viewer)

[Glenn]

Hi,

I know this is not the for sale board but I am looking for an inexpensive Celeron 1.1 CPU. It needs to be an Intel Coppermine fc-pga CPU.

If anyone has one laying around that they are not using please let me know.

Thanks,
Glenn

try ebay. there are a few there, but i'm not sure if they're fc-pga or fc-pga2. good luck. i think i actually used to have that chip a while back, but i must've sold it or something.

Hi Kevin,

I have looked at eBay and actually bought one somewhere else. But a lot of ads don't specify between the fc-pga or fc-pga2 and as I found out that is important.

Still looking.

Thanks,
Glenn

i think the easiest way to tell the difference between fc-pga and fc-pga2 is that fc-pga2 has 256K cache whereas the fc-pga will have 128K cache. here's a link to some fc-pga 1.1 ghz chips from pricewatch:

here is an fc-pga ebay auction:

Thanks for that tip. That really helps. I didn't know there were two versions available until recently.


>>Why on earth would you wan to buy that?

I have a Magnia SG20 server that only has a 566 Mhz Celeron and I want a bump up in speed and the 1.1 CPU is the fastest that this server will take.

Thanks,
Glenn

glen:

i don't know if your mobo specifics and price requirements, but to get the absolute most out of your mobo/cpu combo, you might wanna look into some fcpga-fcpga2 adaptors (preferrably powerleap. they allow you use tualtin processors (up to 1.4 ghz) on socket 370 fcpga boards so you can go as high as your fsb will let you within the fcpga2 family.
