p3/tutalin?

ok currently i have a

standard (old) p3 700mhz and im wondering can i upgrade to a p3-tutalian (or however you spell it) on the same mobo?

thanks

im not sure but arent old p!!!'s in slot form and the new ones socketed?

What motherboard do you have? If it's a slot motherboard you might not be able to do it depending on if there is a BIOS update for the board to support the new chip. You will also need to get an adapter if this is the case. If you have a socket 370 motherboard should be fine with a BIOS upgrade. Would need to know your motherboard before I can say for sure.

almost for sure you will need an adaptor from either fcgpa or slot 1 to fcpga2....

and you can check compatibility at www.upgradeware.com

most likely it will work and you can sell your p3 700 on ebay and likely cover the cost of the new 1.0-1.4 tualatin celeron (same 256 kb cache as your p3 700) (40 bucks) and the fcpga2 convertor (10-30 bucks)...

what kind of motherboard do you have and are you going to overclock your new chip?
