I want to upgrade an HP Pavilion 8655C PC (Pentium III, 533 MHz, 256 MB RAM Max.) which has an Intel 810E Chipset (is that another name for the Motherboard?). At this point I should warn everyone that I am somewhat new to working on computers, and this is for my tinkering/personal enlightenment purpose.
Anyway, can anyone suggest a motherboard that would fit in the above computer's case that would accomodate at least a 1.0 or 1.4 GHz Pentium III processor and at least 512 MB of RAM?
Here are some specifications from the PC as it is currently that would probably help:
1. Model #: D9949A
2. Base Processor & Speed: Intel Pentium (R) III 533 Mhz Processor
3. Memory: 256 MB (2 x 128 MB DIMM); Sockets: Two 168-pin DIMMs; Type Supported: SDRAM, 100 MHz, Intel PC SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification, revision 1.0 compliant
4. Cache: Level 1 (Primary) - 32 KB (on processor)
Level 2 256 KB (on processor)
5. Hard Drive: 30 GB (3.5 inch form factor)
I hope the above information is helpful. If there is anyone out there who can possibly help me with this little project I would really appreciate your assistance.
Oh, I believe that this motherboard is a Socket 370 one....not 100% sure though.
