Hey all,
I'm not exacltly a genious when it comes to the inner workings of a computer but I know that I need an upgrade!
Current rig:
P3 800 (socket 370)
192mb pc133 RAM
TNT2 M64 32mb
VIA Apollo Pro133A chipset
W/Digital 20gb IDE ATA/66 HDD
Windows 98 se
In the next month I'm upgrading to a Ge Force 2 Pro 64mb as well as another 128mb RAM for a total of about $70AUS ($35US or there abouts)
I have just read the review here about using an adapter to use newer cpu's on older mobo's and I'm wondering if using an Upgradeware 370GU CPU Upgrade Adaptor for Socket 370 will work on my mobo? If it can I will use a Celeron 1.3ghz "Tualatin". I can get both of them in a pack for $160AUS ($80US).
So my question is will that adapter and cpu combination work on my mobo? And what sort of performance increase will I be looking at?
Thanks for your time and consideration,
Denzil
P.S: Dont make the answers too complicated hehe
