I have an Aopen MX46L. It will post fine with a Celeron 1.8ghz and Pentiun 4 2.40ghz. I get nothing to happen with a Celeron D 2.66ghz (which I was told was a working CPU). On my CPU list put out by Aopen 2.4ghz is the higherst listed for Celeron, no Celeron D is listed at all, and the highest listed for Pentium 4 is 2.60ghz. Is the fact that no Celeron D's were listed mean that they just won't work or is 2.66ghz beyond what the motherboard is capably of handling? Or is the Celeron 2.66ghz CPU bad? Thanks in advance. John

Re: Need help with CPU Question.
I don't know this motherboard, but as far as I can see, the newest BIOS was issued in 2002. That means that there are no support for newer processors, like the Celeron D. In the list you mentioned, there are no newer processors than those based on the Northwood core. This is not a speed issue, just that your motherboard will not support processors with Prescott core, like the first Celeron Ds, and newer processors. A new core means new features that has to be supported by BIOS and chipset. There are Northwood P4s upto 3.06 GHz, but since Aopen don't list them as compatible, I don't know if they will work on your motherboard.------------

Re: Need help with CPU Question.
The p4 2.6 is actually a 2.66, the celeron D 2.66 is identical, just reduced cache and less instructions.
Besides, a 2.66 celeron D is SLOWER than a 2.4ghz p4, and it runs hotter. I had one in a emachines T3624, constantly overheated and was very slow, replaced it with a 2.4ghz p4 and it stopped overheading and was much faster.

Re: Need help with CPU Question.
Im just saying general most of the time the p4 is faster clock for clock than the celeron.
(i.e. a celeron 2ghz is maybe a defective 2.4ghz p4 that is downclocked and has some of the cache removed to make it more stable, so yes something like a 3ghz celeron D is actually a 3.4 or so p4, so it would have more instructions than a 3ghz p4.)

Re: Need help with CPU Question.
i'd say that board only supports Willamette & Northwood cores.
Celeron D's are Prescott cores... so no go..
edit: ok i've searched for infos on that board.
Chipset: SiS 650
Willamette & Northwood only.
Max. FSB 100MHz (400MHz Quadpumped)
quite ancient.. lolLast edited by Scenic; 03-29-2009, 10:32 AM.
