Hi , I have an old computer that I want to keep. Its a Toshiba Tecra 8100. It has the Pentium 3 650 mhz processor and I would like to know if I can upgrade to the Pentium 3 1.13 ghz. If it can be done, how much money should I pay for the upgrade (dont know much about that). Thanks!!! :??:

And have you checked to see if the motherboard can accept a 1 GHz. P3?

Now, take a deep breath and tell yourself, "It's time to let it go."

Especially for a laptop, that might be hard to find, and expensive. With a little googling, a link from 2005 says it only takes up to 850mhz.

Plus ram for that is going to be expensive. Is there something specific you want to do with the laptop that you can't do with your current processor? I mean for example, flash based video on youtube and hulu run choppy on some 2ghz plus systems so it's certainly not going to help with that.

If it is upgradeable, even $20 is really pushing it (for labor and parts).

Even a really really really cheap celeron or sempron system @ $200 would outperform that.
