Find a motherboard for a celeron 533 processor.

[Machine Messiah]

I've got a computer with a 533 celeron processor, ppga 370pin socket that
I want to replace the motherboard on, I'm sick of fighting the onboard
audio/video and have no open pci slots. What else do I need to know about
this processor before buying a motherboard? Can anyone recommend a place
online to look for a motherboard?

If you're going to replace the motherboard then replace the CPU also.
Rather than going through the hassle of trying to find a motherboard for
an obsolete processor for a few dollars more you can get a modern system.
If you look on pricewatch you'll find AthlonXP 2600 motherboard combos for
$100.

Thanks for the reply.
I've decided I might as well update to at least a celeron 1.7 if I'm
going to replace the board. If all goes well I'll have a pretty hot
system for $250 in upgrades.

I just bought the processor a few months ago to replace a celeron 400.
I've decided to go ahead and upgrade to a 1.7 or 2.4 ghz celeron from
newegg.com. With the ram and the board I'll spend $250.
