HP Pavillion 7915

Hello,
Over 2 years ago I bought, for my brother and his family,
a HP 7915. I upgraded the RAM to its 512MB max. I installed
a PCI video card since it has no AGP slot. I've done a few google
searches but have been unable to find any information regarding
an upgrade of the 1.1GHz Celeron processor
If anyone knows or can point me to a website or forum I'd be most
appreciative. I'd also be grateful for any information about the make
of motherboard and if a BIOS upgrade is available.

Thank-You,

Terry

Terry,

The board may be capable of handling a 1.4GHz Celeron, provided it supports the
lower voltage of the faster processor. But, frankly, you will not see enough of
a speed improvement to justify spending the money. The 1.4GHz Celeron, being
the fastest 100MHz FSB Socket 370 processor, commands a premium price.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your reply. I figured there would not be much
upgrade/performance worth fooling with. I appreciate you
taking the time to answer.

Hello bk,
As I recall I had to disable the onboard video in the BIOS.
Other than that it was just a matter of installing the driver
for card. It was a few years ago but that's what seems to
stick at this point.

Thanks. the bios doesn't allow that option right now, but I suspected that
was the problem. Will try to download a bios upgrade.
