Processor question presario 5240
I recently purchased the max processor for my presario 5240 (AMD K6 550MHZ)
along with new fan and heat sink. My question is: how difficult is it to replace the processor? I would like to do it myself if possible. thanks..... |
Firstly, you won't see a major improvement going from a K6/2 400 ro a K6/2
550. That said, you will have to change several jumpers for the new processor as follows JP1 (clock multiplier) Pins 1-2 not jumpered Pins 3-4 not jumpered Pins 5-6 Jumpered JCK3 (CPU bus speed) Pins 1-2 not jumpered You will also have to rejumper JP3 for the correct CPU core voltages for the 550. (Check with AMD for the data) J17 is a fan connector There should be a label inside the case with jumper switch location and info. HH wrote in message . ..
