Presario 5660 upgrade to W2000? by lwags

Presario 5716 with 1GHz Slot1 CPU? by JP Loken
Can I put my 1 GHz-100MHz Slot1 CPU in a Presario 5716, which is now equipped with a 450MHz-100MHz Slot1 CPU? SiSoft Sandra says the mobo is a VIA Apollo Pro. It seems, however, that this is no "official" VIA board. The North bridge(VT82C691) is the same as for Apollo Pro, but the South Bridge is...
