Well, I thought it was in the manual that came with my system as I remember
a setting in the BIOS. I'll check next time I reboot because I have to go
back in there anyway. The AMD site might have info, too.

no. with the right fc-pga sloket, you can go coppermine CPU up to 1.2G

You cannot use those tualatin celerons (GA CPU) though.
