Hi all,

Here are the following Intel motherboard types that support PII and Celeron
Processor:

    Intel AL440LX
      "    MU440EX
       "   SE440BX

This info is easily found in the MicroWarehouse Catalog.

Um, I have a question for the List Members, What is the
main difference Between the Celeron and the PII? Plus
is it the cheaper alternative to the PII?
