Configuring a Win98 system for my dad. Currently has P166 MMX with 64MB.
Basic spec lists max of P233/66 & 256MB for this box. Thought I saw a ref
on the net that this could support a 400 or more cpu, but couldn't find
details. Just checking to see how far I can go with this box and what's
involved with cpu upgrade. I've dealt pretty much with Asus mbs & know that
sometimes you can exceed the specs, but Dell's new territory for me <g>.
Don't mind flashing and/or jumpers if necessary, but mb's too old to bother
with much more than that.
I set up a box for him back in the Win95 days, but I'm not sure he turned it
on a dozen times. Now he's says he *may* be interested, so I'm taking it
slow & cheap for now with a hand-me-down box.<g>
TIA
