Pentium II CPU upgrading to Pentium III ???
A friend of mine has this old computer with a Jetway 720BF motherboard, 64MB
of 168pin 100MHz SDRAM and a Pentium II (Slot 1) CPU (100MHz FSB) with 450MHz installed. The computer still does the job but I was wondering if it would be possible to tweak the thing a little bit. According to the manual the motherboard supports Pentium II and III CPU's up to 500MHz. Now I know it would not make much sense to upgrade to a 500MHz from a 450 so I was wondering if it would be possible to chuck a Pentium III CPU in with say 1000MHz? The manual does not say you can but by the time of writing how could it? So my question is, is there any difference between a Pentium III 500 and a Pentium III 1000???? Will that motherboard support the 1000 MHz CPU? Or is there some significant differences in the later Pentium III CPU's? Unfortunately the webpage from Jetway is not too helpful either. For those who care to check: http://www.jetway.com.tw/evisn/produ...20bf/720bf.htm Memory4less as an example sells Pentium III CPU's http://www.memory4less.com/cpus/m4l_pentium3.asp The motherboard also supports up to 1.5 GB of RAM (which seems really excessive!) and I was thinking of chucking an additional 128 or maybe 256 MB of RAM in there to speed things up a little. What are your opinions??? Thanks heaps in advance Hans |
