close enough. as i recall, you can underclock just about any p2/p3 to a lower fsb.
I ended up ordering a replace SL2HE 266mhz. I want to keep this machine similar to its factory configuration, as I'm quite fond of it.
Wonder what caused the CPU to fail like that though. Is the base memory failing a known issue with certain P2s or did I just lose the silicon lottery here? This CPU was never really abused. Ran it at stock clock speeds, had the factory heatsink with thermal sensor on it, etc.
Does not matter, the important thing how well were the former CPU cooled?
