Are there any processors that work for the 370 socket?
Please and thanks.

Google (http://www.google.com/search?q=socket+370+CPU%27s&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official) shows a bunch of them...

Socket 370 covers a lot of cpu's what is your present
one your using?
You have PPGA, FC-PGA, and FC-PGA2.
Give us some information on what your doing.
If you presently have a CPU it should have an
sSpecs Number on it.
See the below picture as an example. SL4PC

Ok,its a socket 7,im sure of it(hopefully)
I think the metal part thats blocking the processor chip thingy is the
heatsink?

Yep.

Ok then,I was just now recently watching a video on what happens to a processor without a heatsink(while the powers on) ,they showed the one I have and the chip melted!Ouch!

I plan on buying a Pentium ll 300+ MHz processor.Am I suppose to remove the whole heatsink and processor together?
-
No,you remove the heatsink then the processor/CPU.
The CPU should line up in place and be locked down by a slim
locking lever.
Read the below site.

Much thanks!
-
ok,sorry for double posting but.
I have a gateway e1600 (I think a small form factor computer?)
I got removing and installing a processor out of the way.the only thing
is finding a processor thats compatible with my computer/motherboard.
any suggestions?
P.S. What graphic card is good for an e1600?8-32MB Cards anyway!
Please and thanks!

According to the specs of your m-board 66,100,and133mhz
cpus work so,without a risk you should be able to get a
SL4C8 (Intel Pentium III) 1 GHZ.When you buy the Cpu
get it with heatsink and fan.
A 32 mb graphics card should be all you need.I did not
see if you needed standard ,or low profile card.
PCI/or AGP. Mkae sure you get the right one someone will
post it.I must now leave for work.....Bwahahaha!

A Pentium II is a Slot 1 Processor which will not fit in a socket 370 or a SOcket 7 slot.
Are you sure you are up to this?

This has kinda went around in a circle hasn't it?

If you really have this Gateway E-1600 you interjected into
this nicrosity.....See reply#8.....Go to the below link and read
the manual.
Then come back and ask a question about it.

Are you sure?Remember I said I have a socket 7,so I dont want to make any mistakes
when buying a processor.Also any pentium lll listed only has socket 370 and Slot 1.Also,
AMD K6 and K6-2 uses socket 7,is this true?
-
I truly can't teach you what I have learned upgrading computers
in 1 post.
Did you read the Gateway E-1600 Manual?

I guess from this point im screwed,cause I have no acrobat either ???
-
this is how my motherboard looks,its got what material is found here.Im just trying to clarify that my CPU is a socket 7.But it says something about socket A ??? ???

Why don't you download Adobe Acrobat Reader
free ? See Below Link.

1st,you're a real expert,and thanks for that download ;D
2nd,you were right earlier,because the manual said that the processor is compatible
to Pentium III or Celeron 66,100,or 133 Mhz front-side bus.They also have the steps
to removing a heatsink as well!
I guess this thread is done lol,finally
thanks alot!

All is well that ends well.We sure hope you remain an active
member of Computerhope friend.
You hung in there and figured it out.
By the way I have a 370 CPU celeron 566 mhz I don't need.
If you need it PM me and I can send it to you no
charge.
I found that to be the best way to recycle extra
computer parts........By helping another member.
