I just got hold of a Celeron 466mhz. I was thinking of selling it but I would like to test it first. I was going to test it in my server which has an Asus P2B-F motherboard will it see my Celeron 466mhz. I have a sloket (sp?) adapter for it.

Short answer: the Asus P2B‑F will recognise and run a Celeron 466 if the board’s jumpers/FS/BF settings, the slot‑to‑socket adapter, and the BIOS are correct. The P2B‑F user manual lists Celeron 466 (7.0× at a 66 MHz bus) in the CPU jumper table and warns about AGP bus limits, and Asus issued BIOS updates that add microcode for later Coppermine/Celeron steppings. (manualowl.com)

Practical bench checklist (minimal parts: PSU, 1 DIMM, video, speaker):

  1. Flash the P2B‑F to a BIOS that includes Coppermine microcode (BIOS 1013A or later). (drivers.eu)
  2. Use a good quality Slot‑1→Socket‑370 adapter (or the ASUS S370 card); check the adapter’s voltage jumpers and set them per the adapter/CPU instructions—the manual documents the S370 card procedure and jumper warnings. (manualowl.com)
  3. Set the P2B‑F FS (bus) and BF (multiplier) jumpers for Celeron 466 (7.0× with a 66 MHz external clock) as shown in the manual’s CPU table. (manualowl.com)
  4. Fit a proper heatsink/fan and the Slot‑1 retention correctly (no bent pins, fins must engage retention). Power on and confirm POST, BIOS CPU ID and frequency. (manualowl.com)

Notes and cautions: overclocking (e.g., raising FSB to 75 MHz) can work on BX boards but forces attention to AGP frequency — keep AGP at the correct ratio so AGP <= 66 MHz (the manual warns AGP frequencies above 66 MHz are out of spec). Monitor core temps, don’t apply voltages outside the CPU’s spec, and perform a short stress/burn‑in before declaring the chip stable. (manualowl.com)

Context: ’s pointer to P2B upgrade info and ’s note about adapter quality and cooling are on point; the extra steps above clarify the BIOS/jumper/adapter checks needed before trusting the chip for sale or overclocking.

Looks like it to me.

The PIII Celeron works fine with the BX chipset--they were made for each other. As long as the adapter is of good quality, add a decent heatsink and you could be able to push it to 600 MHz or more, no problem. Just bumping the FSB to 75 MHz could get you a decent bump-up in speed--if you kept it.
