I know, but if you read the faq on their site, it says that 1.6V is not 
supported on the revision 1 boards (apparently the voltage regulator is not 
powerful enough to supply the increased current).  That's the voltage the 
celeron you are talking about requires.  Now, if I get a slocket with a VRM 
built in, it will run fine with the motherboard supplying 2V, but it costs 
$50 and it seems less cost-effective than upgrading what I have.  Besides, I 
can think up of a pretty good use for a mobo/CPU combo, but if I just upgrade 
the CPU, I don't know what to do with the old one.  It's certainly worth less 
than $20...
