Hi I have a new Abit 440 Bx motherboard.
My question is this. I know this board will support a 400mgz
Celleron PPGA but will it support a Celleron 700mgz FCPGA?
The board does have soft menu and supports 66/100 mgz FSB
My problem is this I cant get it to boot with the 700 mgz chip
but I know it will boot right up with the 400mgz chip because I just built the same system a month ago from the same vendor.
From a lot of posts I have read this puppy will run almost anything you throw at it. Am I right?
What do I have to do? Upgrade the bios with a 400mgz chip?
