I've got a Celeron 600E (Socketed) and a DFI PW65 revision B+ system board (Slot). I thought I'd be slick and buy the 600E celeron with a socket-slot card. Well, I did. Processor detection works perfectly, system boots up, etc... But it's EXTREMELY unstable. In Windows, illegal operations are about as common as mouse clicks, and RedHat Linux won't even install. I'm assuming it's because of the converter card. Do you have a specific brand/model of card that you recommend, or am I just fooked?

Is the card the same brand as the Motherboard ?
If not you might able to set the voltage and FSB by Manualy by setting jumpers. If the card has a setting for Celeron or Coppermine use the Coppermine setting because it a 600E.
I have had the same sort of problem before and no longer use the things.

I forget the brand of the card, but it's certainly not the same brand. I contacted DFI and they of course said, we do not recommend you use a converter card. But if you buy X motherboard... Yeah, grr. Even if the mobo is properly detecting the processor, it would still help to manually set the jumpers?

Hello,
For a 370 to s1 converter I suggest a S370-DL 133 converter from Asus (www.asus.com.tw)

The destination is of no importance, it is the trip that is of importance.

I had the same problem when running my Intel PIII650 on a slot1 ASUS MB.
The problem was the adaptor card.
It should be the same brand as you're MB, if you can not find such one, try an asus because those are indeed the most stable. Take for all security a 133 mhz FSB compatibel card (those certainly work with celeron)
I accidently had a B brand card witch supported only up to 66 mhz. My processor acted like it was insanly overklokked and wrote my HDD's full with crap. (I basicly lost everything)
So be carefull with those settings!!

Oh yeah, check also yuo're cpu get's the right voltage. For a cel600E that should be 1.65 volts. You can check that easely in you're bios under system managment

Hope this helps you any further,

Yup, panic
that voltage is way too low
that's the reason you're cpu is unstable it should at least need 1.6, best 1.65
Reset the jumpers to a correct voltage
Be sure you do know the proper jumper settings, accidently choosing a setting over 2 volt may litterly blow you're cpu!

I have a friend that does QA (Quality assurance) and he was the one that told me about the asus converter, he has been happy with it, and he also went through 3 others cuz they where cheaper. I personally dont have any experience with converter cards..

The destination is of no importance, it is the trip that is of importance.

Hmmm,
either you contact your motherboards makers and ask them how to set the correct voltage
or you shall have to purchase an asus slot to socket card. That one alows you to set you're voltage manualy.
