Jim,

Are you familiar with /proc/cpuinfo and lspci ?

Learning to read the information provided by those tools can unlock a
world of diagnostic goodness. When I encounter unknown hardware the
first thing I try is booting from a Linux LiveCD and running those two
commands.

/proc/cpuinfo will tell you the "stepping" for a CPU, as well as flag a
number of CPU idiosyncrasies. If you know how to read the information,
you can find out if it is an old Celeron or a newer one.

Cheers,
Steven Black

Re: [BLUG] My Ubuntu/Linux bitch

Yes I did i am distro hopper try most of them. The problem stems from the type of celeron used the 701 4g's use the old modified p4 moblie (p3 updated) the 900's problems are the same if you get one that was intended for european market it is a old celery not a new one. Ones with the newer i think its a 353 will be fine. Only reason i even figured this out was taking the things apart to see what actual chips were inside.
