I posted here a while back. It seems as if, due to financial reasons, I won't be able to replace both my motherboard and my processor at the same time. The obvious choice is to go with the motherboard. I wanted to get an Abit IS7 mobo. However, I am currently running a Celeron 2.5Ghz processor. The IS7 says it supports "533Mhz/800Mhz" CPUs. Does this mean it is NOT compatible with a Celeron (400Mhz)? I'm new to replacing anything more sophisticated than a disk drive, so forgive me if the answer is obvious. Thanks in advance.
