Tuning Instead Of Disposing: PCs With Socket 5, Continued
To give you an example, we managed to equip a computer from 1995, fitted with a Pentium 75 on a socket 5 AT motherboard (Intel's 430FX chipset), with a 400 MHz processor and additional main memory, with the following result: the overall system performance boosted up to 150 percent simply by increasing the CPU clock from 75 MHz to 400 MHz (550 percent!) and the memory clock!
Upgrade basis: our PC system is based on the Asus P55TP4XE.
Upgrade basis: motherboards with Socket 5 were used in PC systems between 1995 and 1996.
Our PC still has an old Pentium 90 in Socket 5.
