Hi,

Unless the board is "Prescott" ready the celeron will not work properly.  In
fact it may cause damage to the board, chip or both.

The old celerons, were 400mhz w/128k cache (.13 die) and the new ones are
533 bus with 256 k cache (.09 die).

Even if you were to flash update the BIOS, I believe you will have voltage
issues that will cause problems switching the processors. 

I delive that the new "d"'s are actually better than the original p4's as
they are at the 533 bus and have better instruction sets than the originals.


Thanks,

Joe 

==========================================
I have a doubt: will the Celeron 2.4 GHZ Dprocessors fit and work in a mobo
formerly working with a Celeron  2.4 GHZ processor?
Will the mobo detect it as a P4?
is its performance comparable to a P4 letīs say 2 ghz?
Iīve heard diffrent opinions and didnt find a proper information fron intel
site.
TIA
