What's your motherboard manufacturer and model? Is the motherboard of the PPGA socket variety or are you using a Slotket converter?

The Celeron 400 there is most likely to be PII-based.

If your motherboard is of the Socket 370 platform, you cannot install a Pentium II (Slot 1)..... plus, you have to further investigate if the Socket motherboard accepts PPGA or FC-PGA processors; as long as it accepts FC-PGA chips, you'll be able to use a Socket 370 Pentium III (not including the Tualatin-based PIIIs, which are of the FC-PGA2 variety).

I agree that it is probably a P2 based proc, although im not sure if the P2-based procs ever got beyond 366 MHz... Maybe im right, maybe im just stupid; im not sure.

You might want to check around on Google if you havent already done that.

Yep... I had a p2 400 Mhz.
