I have this board I got about 3 weeks ago http://www.gateway.com/support/techdocs/references/motherboard/4w4sb0x0/4w4sb0x0.shtml
{ I hope he link works }
I have the one without onboard sound. This board will take a P-II/P-III ether via slot or slockett card. I bought a Celeron 700 E { small blue core} for it as I already have a slockett. my understanding was the celly was a P-III cpu at 100 fsb. was I wrong? in the bois it says fsb is only 66mhz. the mobo auto detecs everything. there's only on jumper and thats for the cmos clearing.. Now I left my slockett on auto detec, as I'm new at this and have no idear what to set it at. would this make a diff on the fsb?
Thanks...

The 700 celly is a 10.5 x 66 fsb processor.

100 FSB celeron's didnt come out until the 800mhz and faster processor

Thank you..

The 700 will do 945Mhz with ease. My wife's system is a Celeron 700Mhz @ 945hz (10.5 X 90)...

Sheese, I can't belive I forgot about this thread, NDC. could you explane how I would OC my mobo? The board is the one in the above link without onboard sound { ewww I hate intergrated things} I'm running a slockett for the celly.
Thanks

Well, seeing that it's a mainboard from an OEM system, it'll most likey not have very good overclocking features if any...

First thing you can do is go into the system BIOS and see if yu can raise the external clock speed. The external clock speed that Intel Celerons run at is 66Mhz X 10.5 = 693Mhz (700Mhz). Try raising the external clock speed from the deafult speed of 66Mhz to the next value. Hopefully there is a setting in the BIOS for that mainboard between 66Mhz and 100Mhz. If you're getting errors after rasing he external clock speed, try increasing the voltage to the next value if this feature exists. Personally, I haven't come across a maniboard that couldn't hit at least 871Mhz (10.5 X 83). As for the multiplier, don't even bother messing with that because Celeron 700Mhz is multiplier locked....
