I have a gateway 300se with an intel motherboard and celeron 1.8 Ghz, socket 478. It uses the i82845GL chipset. I can't find ANY cpu upgrade information on gateway.com or intel.com. I want to upgrade the CPU to something faster. I have a spec sheet that says: Support for Pentium 4 and Celeron Processors 400Mhz or 533Mhz System Data bus 478-pin socket. I don't know if I can actually use 533Mhz or how fast a processor I can get. Any Ideas? thanks!

Celerons of that class are 400MHZ BUS ... as for upgrades, the flag processor you can get is the Pentium4 3.06 (NorthwoodB) but since Socket478 is phased out, you may have an interesting time hunting them down
