best cpu for bh6 P3 or celeron

[spt1313]

if so what speed would you recomend?

Either way, you need to realize that the default FSB speed for the BH6 is 100MHz. 100MHz based PIII are the ones without the B designator (or is it E?). If you get one of the B designated CPUs, it will not run at its designated speed, since the multiplier is based on a 133MHz FSB. Go with the fastest CPU you can afford, preferrably a PIII. You can try to overclock the FSB in order to run a PIII EB at the proper speed (or faster). I would suggest not going with the Celeron, simply because of the 66MHz FSB. Sapasion and others, however, have had great success overclocking Celerons. Don't make any decisions 'til you get a few more responses.

Indeed, almost every celeron between 533a and 633 is capable of running on the 100Mhz FSB and giving you a very nice little [or not so little] OC. My celeron rides a 115FSB and runs at 920Mhz, thus gives me performance better than a P3 750. Otherwise you could get something like a P3 700. Your mobo does go as high as 133FSB, whether that would be a stable speed is questionable.

Agree that Celeron is best and cheap good OC CPU, go with Celeron!!
