Wow! Talk about confusing yourself and confusing your customers. HP's web site
turns up a "Build To Order" model of the 8710 which may have one of several
CPUs, a Celeron, several different Pentium IIIs, several different AMD Athlons,
or several different Pentium 4's.
Can you respond with the HP model number on the back of your unit, something
like P1422A???
For sure, the system can take a Celeron 766, which hardly helps speed up the
system. The motherboard has an Intel 810 chipset and PC100 memory which implies
that it will support the lower voltage Celeron processors with 100MHz front side
bus, ranging up to about 1.1GHz. One of these will help quite a bit, but make
sure it is the Celeron running at 1.7v, because Intel also produced lower
voltage 1.1GHz Celery chips.
Maximum memory is 512MB with the 810 chipset, and adding more memory would give
the system more kick, especially if the memory is the original 64MB shipped in
some 8710 models... Ben Myers
