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? HH Wrote: I'm afraid the 5834 has the early Intel 810 chipset which limits you to a 66MHz processor bus. Your Celeron 500MHz is for practical purposes the fastest the board supports. HH "gnznroses" wrote in message ...- 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? -- gnznroses- -- gnznroses |

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. HH ben_myers_spam_me_not @ charter.net (Ben Myers) wrote in message ...

Yep. I stand corrected... Ben
