submix8c,

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with, but your link is broken. Try this one instead:

PC133 is SDRAM and was typical on PPGA Mendocinos. FC-PGA Coppermines used SDRAM or RDRAM.

CPU-World doesn't talk about memory-type compatibility, but does verify Wikipedia for socket 370. Thanks for the resource.

Ummm... the link goofed up (.html went AWOL) Try copy/paste this -

(blanks are embedded - KRAP! It truncated it again!)

"Celeron 1998 32 Low-cost version of Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4 processors."

Try this one (directly to all the Celeron links) -

Now... you keep talking about Mendecino (WIKIWIKI) - How about later Coppermine/Tualatin? They can ALSO be on MoBo's with PC133 - It's SDRAM!!! You have already stated that Socket370 comes in various "flavors" - THIS site will help you determining WHAT will/may work... I use it all the time. (NOTES: Willamette and up are NOT Socket370 and use DDR and up / Covington is older SECC/Slot). Seriously, Wiki STINKS!

And... google "Everest Home Edition 2.20" (w/o quotes), install and run it to see EXACTLY what your MoBo is. This will remove some "guesswork".

HTH
