Andrea & Bill;
The easiest way to identify a mobo is to track it down thru the long
bios number that appears at the bottom of the first boot screen.
you can look it up yourself or post it here and I will look it up.
Of course you will need to install a some kind of cpu, ram and video card to
boot it.
Your local vendor would prob. try a 800 celeron in it for you and see if
will work for a small fee.
Otherwise you will probably have to boot it to positively identify the board
unless it has some kind of brand mark that lets you
know who made it.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Which Processor?


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?
