Will a Celeron chip work in an amd mobo?

This may sound stupid and I’m sure it is! Just wondering?

[megah0]

No, It won't

[Swafe]

nope you need either a different chip (AMd compatible with the mobo) or a different motherboard, a socket 370 if its 500-1.3ghz, or socket 478 if its 1.5ghz +

[Flash]

[Stoo]

[Flash]

I wondered that too but I was sure there was a celeron out before the slot type processors werent they socket7?

It was a long time ago mind you and my memory isnt the best.

nope, first celeron were slot types, then they changed to socket 370 iirc
