I hate this situation. I used to keep an old Celeron 355 (Netbust-based) for this purpose, but then Intel dropped support for 533MHz FSB chips beginning with Series 3 chipsets, so now it's an even more worthless chip. :)
Probably going be easier for you to just order some low end chip for $30-40 and be done with it. I'd just hit up a Fry's or Micro-Center, if you have one nearby. Otherwise, Newegg has the Celeron 430 for $40 with free shipping. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Winterlight > Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 11:48 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [H] Anybody have a Celeron D 420-430-440 LGA775 > > I bought a new ASUS P5E WS PRO board that will support my new Intel > Core 2 Quad Q9650 .... once I flash the BIOS!
