CPU upgrade

[Luminore]

I want upgrade CPU. In motherboard specification specified that MB supports
up to Socket-370 Intel processors up to 1GHz. What will be better to use,
maximal 1GHz or 933MHz CPU?

Regards

Not enough information. There are other factors that play into deciding
whether or not to use a 100-MHz or 133-MHz CPU. This motherboard can be
equipped with an Intel P3 with a 10 multiplier or 7.5 multiplier to match
the corresponding FSB. Right now, what speed of RAM, for instance, is
installed. This will factor into making the decision. RAM running at
133 MHz FSB will allow for both the 933 MHz and 1 GHz CPU whereas RAM
running at 100 MHz allows for only a 1 GHz CPU (or 900 MHZ).

It is probably better to buy a new computer, even a low-end
DELL will beat what you can expand that OLD,OLD socket 370
to be.
A new $400 computer will be 2.5 3.3 GHz, have 512 to 1 GB
RAM, a DVD burner and a whole warranty.

Why ask here? It has nothing to do with the OS.

----------

old CPU PIII 866MHz. Processor supports 66/100/133 MHz system clock
speeds.

RAM will be DRAM DIMM PC-133 512MB

Just be aware some motherboards of the P3 era could run the 1.2 and 1.4 GHz
versions. They simply weren't available at time of manufacture of the
motherboard and subsequent cpu information for that motherboard. Some
required a bios update to automatically adjust the multiplier for the newer
cpu. Please do your own motherboard research...

seems to me the title name of the group is HARDWARE.

Is there a way determine this more exactly? There are no other information,
except a few words mentioned in MB specification that this MB supports up to
Socket-370 Intel processors up to 1GHz. I would't want to upgrade Bios
(though this is possible) due risk of error.

 

[You Know Who ~]

I don't think a bios upgrade is all that risky, have done it a number of
times. I would go to the manufacturer's website and check to see if the
bios upgrade will allow for a faster cpu. It might.

you can always email the mobo tech support.

This guy had a three legged horse that was 18 years old and
blind in one eye. But he wondered if a new saddle would
make it run faster.
