1220XL: Upgrading 566mhz Celeron?

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq (More info?)

Hi, I've a Presario 1200XL with a 566 mhz Celeron chip in a 370 socket.

I am interested in upgrading the CPU. From browsing the group it sounds like
the bios should recognise a P3, but before I get too carried away how fast can
I go with Pentium or Celeron CPUs in the existing 566mhz set-up before I risk
overheating? If going to 1 gig or beyond is not realy an option, do you think
it would it be worth replacing it with a P3 733MHz?

Obviously any pointers would be greatly appreciated....

Unfortunately, it looks like your 12XL203 does not support a 100MHz
processor bus. Therefore any PIII is out, and a Celeron 733 could be your
top processor, and not that much faster than the existing 566.
In fact the fastest 12XL2XX US model just has a 600MHz Celeron.
