Faster CPU?
« on: January 08, 2008, 10:39:49 AM »
Currently I have:
      Microtel SIS 650 Chipset
      Intel P4 1.70 GHZ, 400 System Buss
      Memory 512(DDR226) but am going to bump up to 1 Gig
 
      Can I put a faster Intel P4 processor between 2.0-2.6 Ghz?
 
TIA,
Azxyzr

It depends on what your processors your motherboard will support.  What motherboard do you have?  Do you have any documentation on it?  Have you visited the manufacturer's website for info?

That will determine your upgrade limitations...
