Will an old Celeron run in a CUSL2-C?

I was trying to get an old machine running (which had a dead mobo) with a spare CUSL2-C. The cpu is an old Celeron - I think a 300.
Would you expect it to work? As it is, I don't even get any bios beeps and as I know the mobo works I can only assume it doesn't like the cpu.
Am I right? If so, whats the cheapest current Celeron which will go in this board?
733?

Thanks

Steve

Iīm runnin my CUSL2 with an 800MHz celeron just fine.. i even got it to 1333 and it didnīt make any trouble at all so the new celerons will work at least.

Hi Rebellion,

The CUSl2-C only supports FC PGA Celerons...it will not support any other architecture...

Miles...
I'm not an expert on this!
The Celeron I've got fits in the socket - does this mean it's an FC PGA?

Same number of pins on the PPGA and FC-PGA, although the pin-outs are apparently different. CUSL2 will run PPGA (<=533) and FC-PGA.. CUSL2-C is FC-PGA only. I believe it has to do with power requirements.

The Celeron (PPGA) and Celeron II (FC-PGA) both come in 533 Mhz versions. Make sure you get the right one.

Thanks ddd,
I guess the one I've got is PPGA not FC PGA which probably accounts for why nothing happens.

Know how you feel. Was going to plop the old 400 in this one after I upgrade.. but for the price of a low end Celeron II (US$45).. why bother. Maybe I can find a good LX board cheap somewhere?

My Celeron 500 PPGA SL3LQ ran fine @600 on my CUSL2

Don't know the difference (except for the onboard video) between a 815-E (CUSL2) or a 815-EP (CUSL2-C) I got them both overhere... both o PIII Coppermine @ this moment
