OK,
I have a VIA mobo, with a pentium III socket 370 @ 800MHz however the board is no good, However the other day i bought a Tangent Desktop with a intel MoBo and a socket 370 slot for $20 ( i bought it for the XP license) It ran xp but i figured i could put the pentium III in, since the celeron was only 266MHz, and lacked a L2 cache. When i removed the heatsink from the celeron i was suprised..... It was a celeron that even after all my years of working with computers i had never seen before. I expected it to be a Green colored processor with an exposed blue die. I was wrong, it was a black processor, with a metal jacket over the die, (like what a pentium 4 desktop looks like, except black) At first i though the mad had lied to me, and that it was actualy an AMD processor, however when i turned it over it was clearly marked "Intel Celeron '98" so i shruged, and put the Pentium III in since they were both the same socket, however it would not give the screen power. I have no idea why, everything is compatable, and i have double checked all connections, but still have no luck.
Suggestions?
Thanks
