Anyone know if an Intel SE440BX-2 Slot 1 motherboard can take a Slot 1 Pentium III 1Ghz 100FSB CPU?
I've checked the cpu support list (http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel/SE440BX-2.html) and it appears an 850Mhz CPU is as fast as this board will take.
According to wiki (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_ … microprocessors) the 850Mhz Pentium 3 has a voltage of 1.6 - 1.75 and the 1Ghz has a voltage of 1.75.
On paper a 1Ghz CPU should essentially work. Just don't want to purchase this cpu and find out it doesn't work. Hoping someone has some first hand experience on this using this exact motherboard.
