Sounds like this board will accept a late model P-III flip-chip (FCPGA) with
256 L1 cache and lower voltage setting.  The EB on the PCIset is a useful
code for looking on web sites, it probably means you can use a coppermine
chip.  You need to find out what voltage settings the board will allow,
since P-III cpus come in a variety of offerings.  This will be faster than a
celeron.  Pricewatch.com lists a P-III coppermine 800 mhz / 133mhz front
side bus for $106.  Research the vendors at pricewatch, they are not all
alike.

Greetings all;

    I have a slightly used PGA370 socket motherboard (probably manufactured
in '99) and am reasonably certain that it is in working order. Which is the
fastest Celeron processor I can install? I am able to locally find 800 MHz
Celerons, which the vendor says will fit, but will it run? Also, can anyone
tell the chipset?

    The jumper settings etched on the board indicate that 66 and 100 MHz are
available, as well as 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6x, up to a maximum of 600
MHz. Another jumper gives settings for 66, 75, 83, 100, 103, 112, and 133,
which I assume is the bus speed. Award Bios 1998. Three ISA, four PCI slots.
One AGP. Intel AGPset FW8244BX. Intel PCIset FW82371EB.
