Your questioning made me stop and think about it a little more. So like
a good little boy, I jumped on the web and started looking into it a
little more. (I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong.) :)
And indeed, I was wrong. Apparently, all Slot 1 motherboards will
support the Celeron. I think that the 440EX chipset is what threw me --
it is the AGPset "optimized" for the Celeron. My apologies.
