    How to use Dual Celeron 300A (Slot 1) ?

    Hi, I have a dual processors motherboard with 2 Celeron 300A now. Both can be overclocked to 450mhz. I have a problem. Dual celerons - slot 1 - won't work (doh!). Can anyone please help me?
    Thank you.

    What do you mean they don't work? You're motherboard should be detecting those as Pentium II 450's. What kind of motherboard are you using?

    A little more detail please.

    the only dual celeron setup that works to my recollection is the abit board, i had a dual slot 1 board and it wouldnt run dual celerons either.

    I know it isn't working but does it even boot into DOS?

    Hey man, you gotta give us more if you want to be helped. I can't even visualize your problem... write up something with more detail in a new thread and explain clearly what's going on.

    Is nobody here from the original Celeron 300A era? Jeez! Slot1 Celerons require a modification to run dual. There is a pin on the core that's not connected to the Slot. (AN15) Everyone seems to be forgetting this because Slockets always connect AN15 now. BRB, finding a link to the mod. Beware, thoug, in that you *will* have to do soldering work on the CPU itself. Not for the faint of heart.

    Can't find a link, I was always a PPGA ho. Just snoop around for a while and you'll find the pins you need to connect.
