well i am not trying to get attention here but i followed crashman's advice and upgraded to a PIII 700 using my Asus P2B motherboard and it works. Thanks...
now I have another computer with the exact same specs P2B also.. and i upgraded it to Celeron 1000 Mhz.. Well when my comps is doing the POST, it appears to be Pentium III 1000 Mhz and I flashed my BIOS from 1.03 to 1.12 the latest from Asus before I install the processor. after the POST it went into the part Starting Windows 98.. I read a message saying the CPU is differnet type ID error and update not supported something like that. When I am in Windows, I get a BSOD..
and when i want to play my mp3s or anything related to sounds.. BSOD appears. I suspect my sound card has conflict with it? but why?Everything is workign fine cept the sound and the processor shown is a PIII not a celeron. Maybe because intel released celeron 800 and above early this year and the flash is last updated the year 2000 around march or april.
check that site out and it says Celeron 800 is used with BIOS update 1012 and the PCB rev is 1.01 - 1.11.
Mine is 1.03 and I updated to 1012 and also I bought a coppermien celeron 800.. Why isn't it working?!!?!!
the PCB revision is hardware. You can't change that. Buying the same board will however.
Flash the bios to the earliest version that is supported the your motherboard revision.
Your confused between PCB revision and BIOS version. PCB is hardware version of the given motherboard. BIOS version is just that the BIOS.
So find a bios for your motherboard revision and flash it with that and it should work. It still not working because you flashed the bios with the wrong version.

Damn dude. Damn the "CPU not recongized" error, it should still work. Try putting your PIII 700 on it and see if it still has problems, I think it's something else.
argh damn it. I just emailed Asus tech support. Yeah now i am clear about the PCB and BIOS version. Asus tech support says that my 1.03 PCB rev only supports Celeron 533 and PII 600 SECC2 max. I bet my other computer which is using PIII 700 is on a rev 1.12 P2B.
