It should work, but if the CPU is a P4 or dual-core, the heatsink/fan might not keep it as cool as one designed for higher-end cpus

a small question tho why didnt u just clock the prossesor u allready have? and it aint dangerouse I belive all pentium from celeron and up have that "cool down/clock down" thing that will clock it down if it gets hot. dont worry it will go back up again, when its cold so no ure money woont go down the drain. And let u stuck whit a slower cpu it will go up again
but its without its any heatsink or fan, i want advice in this matter if celerons current heatsink and fan is usable with recent gonna be upgrade..
