This is the current mobo I have now My Mobo (http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/Products/CA810E/) This is the CPU I want to put in it, one of these 2! Are these compatible? Pentium III (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=578608&Sku=CP2-P3-1100TC) or Celeron 1.4Ghz (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=459376&Sku=CP2-CI1400TC) Do these work? and which would you recommend.... I know these arent the best processors, but this 560Mhz shit SUCKS so anything is better!! and its only like 60 bux or so.

Teh celeron is p4 based so i don't think the celeron will fit

both will fit, but I'd say spend the extra & get the P-3.
it's not very expensive. They're both Socket 370 processors & compatible bus speeds.
I personally wouldn't buy from TigerDirect though.

no real reason...just don't trust em.
but if you've had good experiences, go for it! Again, it's a nice price.

*edit* make sure you buy a heatsink/fan.
or if you're gonna use the one you already have, get some thermal paste/pad.

Well according to Intel the m/board don't take that high a chip but then what do they know at the price take the 1.13 and run.
