what does "SECC2 Pentium III up to 850MHz(100MHz FSB), Pentium II
Celeron PPGA up to 533MHZ mean" . I mean what does the secc2 and ppga stand for. I m trying to put in a celeron 633 (370) or a pentium 933(370) in this board. Can i downclock or overclock the fsb to make this happen ? the 633 is 66 and the 933 is 133. Is it possible to do this?

here is the link again http://www.ecsusa.com/products/p6set_ml.html

    SECC2 and PPGA stand for the type of packaging the CPUs use. SECC2 is a the big plastic cartridge, and PPGA is the basic modern chip design (Small, square CPU).

    With a slotket adapter, the P3 933 should run just fine, albeit at a slower speed since your mobo doesn't support a 133 fsb. They don't show FCPGA support on the socket on your mobo, just on the slot, so I don't know if the 633 or 933 will run in the socket. However, you can try both in the socket and see if they boot up; it's very possible that they will work and it's just not documented on the ECS website. I don't see how they could mess anything up.
