My Compaq has a Pentium II 266mhz processor. It has been upgraded to
256mb of ram, new 80gb 7200rpm hd and Windows 2000.
I know new computers are cheap now, but this machine still works great
and I want to keep it.
How fast of a processor will its old mother board handle ( even a 333 or
500 or so mhz upgrade will allow me run new software and hardware) and
what is involved in replacing it other than swapping the two out?
Thank you.
