Newer Celerons are based on the coppermine design, while the older ones are based on a different one, the klamath or something I think... The new Celerons are sometimes called Cerleron 2, and they have a faster L2 cache or something like that... AFAIK most all current motherboards with a Socket 370 support both types... And Only Celerons over 600mhz are the new coppermine ones... Your best bet if you want more technical and definitive answers would be to search the intel developers web site, but if you are just worried about a motherboard not supporting your Celeron, dont be, if it supports a PIII then its going to support both types of Celeron... Hope that helps you out :) Kal. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
