I order a new mobo about a week ago and havnt the money to buy a cpu(yet). I was wondering if my old chip will work on my new mobo once i get some new ddr ram.

here are some specs of the old chip and new mobo:

I dont know if it will work cause it says the mobo will only support northwood and prescott =\

I havnt been able to use my mobo yet and its been a few weeks

No, you have to wait like me. I have a new MSI board waiting in the wings until I get a p4 Northwood. That board won't support the Celeron (same CPU I have)
