Thane,
I dl'd and looked at the specs for both chips. If it were me, I would not
even think about a swap. First the ratio's (?) are not compatible, and
then the FSB speeds are not even close. One is a Celeron and the other is a
true P4. May not be same "family/etch/stepping" going on here. I would
expect that the results you have so far are as good as it gets! I vote for
a no-go this time.
I suppose you have a dead m/b for sure, and, maybe (?) a dead cpu, but w/o
a working m/b for each cpu (for elimination) it is a hard call.
AND, I went to sleep all during the Pentium 4 series, so I could be very
lame.......I went AMD at the P4.
BTW, the antique Micron is now parked (retired) after getting its' scsi
bios update AND 61 winupdates ! LOL! Works like a champ now......(a
future server).......Thanks.
Best,
Duncan

I have an older PC (well not older in Duncan's sense, but older) :) - it

boot (00 on the POST card.) The CPU won't work in another machine that
works with an SL69Z
(http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL6ZY) and the SL69Z
won't work in the original machine.
So my problem is: do I have a dead motherboard and CPU or a dead
motherboard or CPU and imcompatible CPUs?
Is there something that would make a machine that can handle an SL79L
unable to use an SL69Z or vice versa? It's the same package, the same
core voltages, but the bus and multipliers are different. Surely the
SL79L should work in a slower motherboard.
