there are only 2 kinds of slots, slot 1 and slot 2, slot 1 is for pentium 3, and slot 2 is for xeon.

check if your motherboard supports FCPGA2, if so, a tualatin Celeron has 256 cache and they overclock like heck...a 1.1 can easily go to 1.5....

I *think* that this chip never made it to the street (would love to be proven wrong though...). So it is my understanding that the highest FCPGA2 PIII available is 1.4GHZ (either celeron or P3-S).

if you have a slot 1 motherboard you dont supprt FCPGA
but it can be made to work with MODS....

Do you know what motherboard you have?
Knowing this makes it ALOT easier to know what CPU's your board can take.

11x100...basically its a 1.1A without the mad ocing capability, and yes they were selling these on pricewatch for around 150$, and superman..i highly doubt the e-machine mobo supports FCPGA2, if it isnt slot-1 then it support regular FCPGA so you would be stuck at 1.1GHZ.... i suggest you get an ECS K7S5A and an Athlon XP for around the same price a new PIII would cost you...
