Hi, Ive been wondering for quite a time now if i can upgrade my Celeron 1.7GHz to a Pentium 4 2.4GHz CPU. Ofcourse the front bus speed got to be similar but does the Core Voltage have to be the same as my previous CPU???
I mean, on my celeron it says 1.75V, and the CPU i was about to buy say its using a 1.5V core voltage.... Im so confused.. can anybody explain this to me? THANK YOU LOADS!

the thing is, i cant find any info on my motherboard on the net.. i know the specifications of the motherboard but just cant find any info on it.
i think though that the dip switches is something u have to recognize when changing CPU's??

Most modern MoBo are Auto Configure, very few have dip switches these days...........
