New CPU 4 Old Slot 1?

[Guest]

I have three old slot 1 motherboards:

a Soyo 6KL with 333 MHz Celeron
an Abit BH6 (Rev 1) with 400 MHz Celeron
an unidentified Packard Bell with 300 MHz PII

I would like to upgrade one or more of them to a
faster CPU, if only a faster (700 MHz or higher)
Celeron. I know that I'll need a socket 370
to slot 1 adapter, but other than that, should
such an upgrade work? I have checked the company's
Web sites for BIOS upgrades for faster processors,
and have found none, nor have I received replies
from their tech support. Can somebody who has
a clue about such things tell me why or why
not this would work, if there is anything I
can do to make it work, etc.?

On a more ambitious level, would it be possible
to make one of these PIII compatible? If not,
what's missing?

Thanks,

i think the abit bh6 can run over 700mhz. technically, you don't even need a socket to slot converter. you just have to make sure you get a cpu that runs on 100mhz fsb.

It's a pitty that BH6 isn't a rev 1.1, then you could run a PIII-700E

You can forget about the Packard Bell. Too bad about the PCB on the Abit (as previously mentioned above). What revision is the 6KL 1.0 or 1.1?

I was just about to buy a PIII 700E for BH6, good thing I read the above posting.

I have looked through my BH6's manual and the MB itself, but I can't seem to find what rev it is.

Can anyone help?

it will not be in the manual but printed on the board itself
