Hi, I'm not an expert on slotckets, but I do know you can not reverse the slot1 - 370 because of its physical design prohibits it. And yes the 500 & 533 Celeron have the same core voltage, stepping, cpu id, & form factor alog with temp & very similar power consumption. I have other info that suggests the 533 is in fact a 500 at the core. However, if you do decide to try this, be sure your motherboard's auto voltage (if any) is bypassed for manual jumpering. Running a cpu at its incorrect speed could cause VIM(auto voltage regulator) to incorrectly set the voltage. -yui PCBUILD maintains hundreds of useful files for download visit our download web page at: http://nospin.com/pc/files.html
