Dim. 4600 & celeron

Why would you want to put a Celeron processor in a machine the comes with a Pentium 4 running at 2.8g or faster? There isn't a Celeron that runs anywhere near that speed.

Because i,am on a buget and i have the 2.0 celeron already and a 4600 motherboard. its a starting point and i could upgrade later

The 865PE chipset supports a 533MHz or 800MHz FSB, not the 400MHz FSB required to use a Celeron.
The following are the specifications for the D/4600

every 865 chip board except dells says that it will support 400fsb . Why is that ????     Thanks again

Maybe, it's because Dell have their motherboards made to their specifications and are not to a standard ATX format.
