The 566 is an interesting chip. Usually, the low end of a new
chip architecture (the 566 was the first FCPGA Celeron) is
almost worthless after a couple of years...BUT in this case,
the overclockers like them.

As an overclocking special, this is a reasonable deal. As
a chip to be run at stock speed, I'd probably hold out for
something faster.

Goto www.pricewatch.com

Click on Processors - PC under the CPU category.

You can find this 566 chip for $35 before shipping.....no codes either....
and the 633 celeron for $35 also.....


Not really a hot deal...... (sorry to gripe)

The 533a was the first flipchipceleron i hate burst your bubble Kwad guy. Iknow because I have a 533A that runs at 840 at 1.8 volts with some extra cooling.

Why does the compgeeks site list these at 1.7v? Aren't these 1.5v?

And OEM is cool, you can slap your own cooling on.

On pricewatch the Celeron 600 and 633 are the same price (600 is cheaper even). Why choose a 566 over a 600 or 633? I heard many 600/633's will run at 100MHz FSB.

This is the cC0 chip with 1.7v core. Are there any issues with BX boards?

Ooops...You're right, must've been a bubble in my brain...The
533 was available in both PPGA and FCGPA. The 566 was the first
exclusively FCPGA Celeron...But you are correct and I am...dirt!

the cC0 steping seems to be the best overclocker also from what I read
the 566 cCo steping has a very high sucess rate, better then the 600 plus
all the other places your not sure what stepping you will get it seems pretty
clear compugeeks is selling cC0's

1) Most important thing before upgrading a BX board is to make sure that there is BIOS support for fcpga. If there isn't, then this chip will run cacheless, i.e. very damn slow. Flash your bios before you install this chip.

2) You need a slocket. If your motherboard can't do the default voltage, 1.7V(1.6V?), you are going to need a slocket with voltage. If you don't, then your motherboard might not boot cause it won't recognize the chip voltage

Running these at 1.8V is not a problem. I've run them at 2.1V before, people will cringe when they here that number though... I'd try to stay as close to 1.8V as possible, but we are only talking about a $40 chip here, you won't cry if it dies in a year. If your chip runs hot, get better cooling, if your chip won't overclock as high, get better cooling.

Overclocking? These should hit 850. But, as always, your results may varry. Between my friends and I, we've had three that all did 850 at 1.8V. This is definitely a better bet than the faster celeron ii's.


EDIT Forgot to say that you need a slocket that supports FCPGA. PPGA celerons have different pin-outs. Usually, FCPGA slockets have a jumper that allows you to choose either FCPGA or PPGA.

Actually, I have had GREAT success with a brand new Celeron II 800...

Malay chip, clocks to 1120MHz(140fsb) at default voltage rock stable and to 1200MHz(150fsb) at 1.8 volts...

The motherboard I have this running in (AOpen AX34) does nothave anything above 150, otherwise I would run it higher.

I will see if I can test it in my D6VAA motherboard, but I just put that system back together and really do not feel like pulling out dual P3 700s that I have running at 1050 at default voltage with intel HS/Fs (damn are those heatsink clips a MAJOR PITA)... But I will see what I can do and plug it in later today or tomorrow... I expect I can probably run in at 1280 with the voltage below 1.95...

Oh yeah, the chip cost $69 from Astak... can't beat that... It ws perfect for my secondary gaming rig, now that I have a Philips Acoustic Edge that WILL NOT work in my dual system (no SMP support form the drivers.. ass-munchers)... Now to just get a GF3 for my main system and put my GF2Pro into my gaming rig... :>
