Hi Gary,

  As I see it, there are 2 things to check. 1st, 440BX-based are fine
boards, but you should check the settings on it and see that they allow
you to use a 700-mhz cpu (for example, does it have a multiplier of
10.5?), and the cpu voltage if it is different over the different
celerons.

  The second thing is that many of the early celerons are not PGA but Slot
1 ("stand" on the motherboard, not "inserted" into socket). If this is
your case and your motherboard has a slot-1 conector, you will have to
purchase a PGA->Slot adapter. (It is possible that you already have an
adapter if your current cpu is pga and motherboard is slot-1).

Yours,
