Yes the motherboard brand and model number are required.

Intel AL440LX

The information is out there. I had to go through the same stuff trying to find what type of processors to put into my motherboard.

I went to the intel site and just typed in your model number. Here is the tech information site

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/al440lx/index.htm

From there, you can see the list of supported CPUs

It sometimes take a little time, but you can find out what ya need. Hope this helps!

thanks man!! thats ace...
what would be faster,
Pentium 2 333 or the Celrom 433 ?
what does this mean ?

requires BIOS P13 or later

???

cheers

P13 is kinda like the BIOS version number of your motherboard. In other words, in order for your motherboard to be able to run X type of processor, it needs to be updated at LEAST to 13.

They have a version 14 up. Its kinda like a driver for your motherboard.

As for the speed, I don’t know enough to be able to comment on the speed difference with intels. I would tend to say that the Pentium 2 333 is faster though.

probably you would have to update the BIOS
to fit a Cel 433 (unless you already have)
"how to" is avalible from the same
web-page you found your mobo-spec on i guess.

don´t be afraid to ask if there´s someting else.

oops.. too slow!
