Compatible processor for a Compaq 041Ch mobo
I am trying to upgrade an older Compaq Deskpro EP/SB Series machine. I
have a 500mhz P3 on there and I was wondering how much more I could upgrade as far as a processor goes. |

Slot 1 or Socket 370 processor?
If it's Slot 1, the max is 600MHz using a CPU designed to operate with 100MHz front-side bus and at 2.0v. There are Slot 1 600MHz CPUs manufactured to different specs. There is some possibility that a PowerLeap adapter with 1.4GHz Celeron would work. Check with www.powerleap.com . If it's Socket 370, the max is up in the 1GHz range with a Celeron...
