 Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2004 1:59 pm Post subject: Celeron CPU swap problem :-( |
 |
|
I have an ASUS mobo (P4B533-E) that supports Socket 478 CPUs up to 3.0 GHz.
I have had a 1.7GHz Celeron CPU for a few months, then was told by TigerDirect.com that their 2.8GHz Celeron would be suitable. Unfortunatly that has not been the case. The mobo is set up to Auto-detect everything, so I assumed it would pick up the same type of CPU.
Now TigerDirect wont/cant help & the CPU reseller (Pro Series Performance) is not answering calls 
Can anyone help? |

| P4B533-E does't support Prescott based CPU-s. If your Celeron is 256k cache Celeron D version then it would not run on this board. Older 128k cache Celeron should work. |
