WTB an older CPU

I actually had a CPU fail on me the other night (A first for me). Anyways.. I'm now running on an old 433MHz Celeron (Yeah.. go ahead and laugh). I DESPARATELY need a socket 370 of some kind (Coppermine I think.. no Tualatins). Ideally.. I'd like an 800MHZ PIII 133FSB socket370 (called the 800EB model) because it would fit in two mobos I have; but I CAN use up to a 1.13 MHZ 133 FSB (or 100 FSB) in my newer mobo (An Abit BX-133 RAID) provided it's not a FCPGA-2 variety (Tualatin). If any of you guys have ANYTHING falling into this category laying around please let me know ASAP. I'll pay for it.. thanks.

mmm PII 450?

I have one with a heatsink and coolermaster fan laying around.

Thanks for the offer racketboy.. but I need to buy something a little more powerful than what I'm already using. I dont think PII's came in socket 370 anyway did they? I though the last format to carry over from PII's to PIII's was slot 1.

I wasn't sure if it was the same socket -- I can't keep them all straight.

The P2 would give a slight performance boost since you only have a celeron.

I've shopped around (when I bought the 450) and the price starts climbing after 450. That's why I went with it.

I bought it as a 2nd CPU for a dualie I have, but never got around to installing it.

Not if it won't fit.
