5000 series
 

5wv254. What speed processor can I upgrade my 700 MHz Anthon with?
Thanks in advance
Ted

Your PC came with a 700 MHz Duron, not an Athlon. It can take up to at least
a 950MHz Athlon, which is what the top model in the 5WV2 series has.

If the 5000 series is like the 5000US, then reportedly 1.2G Athlon is
possible according to he

Or 1.1G Athlon according to he

Does your motherboard look like the one pictured?

I briefly looked at upgrading my 5000US to a 1.1G Athlon but decided
it was not cost-effective. Might upgrade to a 7,200rpm 8MB HDD
though. Once I figure out how to install the OS on the new HDD since
I don't have the installation disc just the recovery disc.

Yes HH.. its a 700MHz Duran of course. I don't think the very slight
improvement with a 950MHz would be worth the effort!
Bur thanks anyway.

Hmmm. Dunno. To a 950 Duron, I agree. A 950 Athlon would be noticeably
faster, though. Much larger L1 and L2 cache.
