new processor for compaq 5834?

yeah, looking at my current specs:

Board: Compaq 0608h
Bus Clock: 66 megahertz
BIOS: Compaq 686C2 09/08/1999

500 megahertz Intel Celeron
32 kilobyte primary memory cache
128 kilobyte secondary memory cache


so you can't get a faster processor that has 66mhz bus speed? i don't
know anything about the bus spped, so i dunno. but not even like an
older 1 ghz celeron? or would the bus speed be a bottleneck in that
case anyways?

i want to upgrade the processor (500mhz celeron) in my presario 5834.
the motherboard is a Compaq 0608h. how do i know what it can support?
i
only want to add a faster celeron. somewhere around the 1.5 Ghz
range.
can i do it?

I'm afraid not. I think there was a 533MHz Celeron that was the fastest that
the 810 chipset supported, but you would hardly notice that little speed
difference. All other 66MHz Celerons up to the 700MHz required a core
voltage your board does not support and all Celerons 800MHz and up ran on a
100MHz bus. I had a Presario 3550 with the same Chipset/processor as you
have and was stuck there as well.

The fastest Celeron ever made to operate on a 66MHz front side bus has a speed
of 766MHz. These are rare and hard to find. Any Socket 370 Celeron up to
533MHz has an operating voltage of 2.0v. At 566MHz and above, the voltages are
variously 1.75v, 1.7v, 1.65v and lower for the fastest ones. If the motherboard
in your system does not support the voltage of the CPU, one of two things
happens. Either the system does not run at all, or the system runs the CPU at
the lower voltage for a short time and then burns out the CPU, with possible
collateral damage to the motherboard.

If you want to try to run a faster CPU, you need a Socket 370 adapter which
mediates the difference in voltage between motherboard and CPU. And, even then,
the motherboard BIOS may refuse to accept the faster CPU's digital signature.
IMHO, it's not worth the time and expense to try.

The fastest Socket 370 CPUs require a motherboard supporting either 100MHz
(Celeron @ 1.4GHz) or 133MHz (Pentium III ~1.4GHz) front-side bus.

Ben, I think you meant to say it would run the CPU at the higher voltage
(2v) then burn out the processor. With his, it will not run at all. His
board supports only down to 2v core voltage.
