I am attempting to upgrade my Slot 1 mobo GA-6BXC
and pIII 450 with a 1gig Coppermine celeron and a slotket thats converst from slot1 to socket 370 fc-pga.
I am very new to computers and have not tried any type of replacing before,
my problem is that I removed the cpu fine and installed the slotket+cpu however teh cartridge is stuck to the original cpu with permanent plastic pins and without the cartridge the slotket is only held in place by the slot at its base and thus wobbles a little and looks precarious.
If I cut the pins on the cartridge I will render it pretty useless anyway, anyone done this procedure before?
