Hi, I was thinking of upgrading my proseser from a Celeron 1.7ghz to a P4 2.4ghz, will this work? I know that the pins on the bottom of the proseser have to be the same. Will I be able to do this? Thanks in advance!

Don't know if the linux forum is the right place for such questions.

Like Guido already stated, it would have been better to put this in another forum, such as the "CPUs/Overclocking" or the "General Hardware" forum. That being said, check the manual/website for your computer/its manufacturer, or the manual for the motherboard you are using to determine wether a P4 2.4ghz is compatable.
