CPU upgrade

[equality72521]

I have a Compaq 12xl-300 with a celeron (coppermine) processor 66MHz FSB.  Does anyone know if I can use a processor that is 100MHz FSB on my 66 MHz FSB motherboard.  I don't want to change the bus because it requires cutting and resoldering traces.  Will it work and what will be the result?

No, you cannot use a 100 MHz processor on a 66 MHz bus board.  Even if the CPU runs, it'll do so at a much reduced speed (a 600 MHz processor will only run at 400 MHz, for example).

Thanks.
