Upgrading CPU on ASUS MEW-AM Rev. 2.01 Motherboard

Thomas Collins Jr

My system presently is:

HP 8710 Celeron 667, 512MB SDRAM 133MHz

S/N US04954376

ASUS MEW-AM Rev. 2.01 Motherboard 370 Socket FC-PGA

I updated the BIOS about 11 months ago to Phoenix Tech. 6.00 PG.

Platform IBM PC/AT or compatible, Intel 810E Chipset
Video 82810e 810e Chipset Graphics Controller, 1MB

I'd like to upgrade the CPU to a Celeron or Pentium 1+ GHz.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Tom

I believe your board support max FSB of 100MHz. As such, it
should support a Coppermine Celeron up to 1.1GHz, (FCPGA,
not FCPGA2/Tualatin) or Coppermine P3 up to 1.1GHz but only
in the 100MHz FSB versions.

There is also a possibility that with a cheap slotket
adapter like the following, your board might take up to
1.4GHz Tualatin Celeron. That would be the best performance
upgrade but I'm not certain it will work without the bios
rejecting it, nor if the motherboard and power supply are
robust enough to handle the extra amperage required by the
Tualatin.

Well, I found out using Intel's CPUz 1.26 program I had a FC-PGA
socket so with Stratton's 370GU Upgrade kit, I am now running a 1.3GHz
Celeron with a Tualatin-Core. Getting about a 45-50% increase in CPU
speed now.
