Greetings!
I need help. I have an old Gateway 7000se currently running a P4 2.0 GHz @ 400 MHz on some random mobo with an Intel 850 chipset (8285oE MCH 82801BA ICH2 82802AB 4-Mb FWH whatever that all means). I just upgraded my RAM to 4x256mb Samsung PC800 RDRAM and have a Radeon X1600 Xt Agp 256MB on order. I also just upgraded my HDD.
My question, and let me know if there is something else needed here, what is the fastest P4 I can put in this machine? Some Gateway spec's say that the machine will support up to a 533MHz system data bus, depending on processor. I am assuming that this is referring to the FSB. I am attempting to get a model number and manufacturer from Gateway so I can get some more specs. Their first answer, to a question of what is the fastest processor I can run on your mobo, was that we don't support third party parts, yada yada.
Thanks in advance.
