I have a Celeron 900 just siiting on my desk and I wonder if I could use a NeoS370 to use it in my bp6

If so does anyone know were I can get on within the UK ?

Yes it should work just fine and overclock up to 110MHz FSB too.
You may find that one of the two sockets boots more easily & runs more stable than the other. Make sure to get the heatsink attached properly with the clip able to handle the extra height. Be careful not to let the clip stretch give too much stress on the CPU, or cause tilting of the HSF.

If you don't have the NEO adapter, then get the much cheaper one - I think it is called Lin-Lin brand or something like that. Info on this site somewhere.
It is much better for attaching heatsink/fan combos, because it gives you a 2ND Socket370 that stacks on top of the existing one. With this setup, the HSF clip fits exactly like it normally would, and has no issue with reaching back down to the original motherboard Socket370.
