| 362887 | 2005-06-11 01:49:00 | Hi I'm wanting to know if it is possible to put a 512mb SDRAM 168 pin and a 2.6GHz processor into my computer. But are those items compatible with my motherboard it's a: Intel Celeron 800Mhz Win2000 L1 code cache is 16kb L1 data cache is 16kb L2 cache 128kb Bus type PCI Bus width 32-bit effective clock 33 mhz real clock 33 mhz Bandwidth 133Mb/s Ram slots 2DIMM Motherboard chipset PLE133T Please advise if not compatible what cheap replacements can be done do make it compatible?!?!?!?!?!? |

| 362888 | 2005-06-11 01:58:00 | You need to post the Motherboard Brand & Model, not the chipset as a large number of boards use this VIA chipset Download Everest Home and it will identify your board http://www.lavalys.com/ Unlikely your board will upgrade from an 800 to 2.6 especially if the new CPU is a 333FSB More info will help |

| 362889 | 2005-06-11 02:08:00 | its a socket 370 which mean a 2.6ghz cpu is not going to fit. you are limited to p3 and socket370 celerons. a p3 @ 1ghz to 1.3ghz would be the fastest cpu you MIGHT be able to run. the actuall make and model will determine exactly what the max cpu and ram it can take. |

And its not a good idea to mix sd ram and ddr ram even if the mobo supports both. Use one or the other. BUT i think your mobo supports SD ram, only. DDR ram wont fit on your motherboard. |

| 362892 | 2005-06-11 11:02:00 | your mobo users sdram only and supports up to 1 gig ie 2x 512 meg sticks. most likly they will have to be double sided. see here (www.giga-byte.com) |

| 362894 | 2005-06-11 14:06:00 | what cheap replacements can be done do make it compatible?!?!?!?!?!? Your best bet is to pick up a new 1Ghz from ETC for $40+GST www.etccomputers.co.nz or have a look round trademe for a 1.4GHz which is the max your board will officially support, and chuck in a Gig of SDRAM (2x512) Prolly not advisable to go for a new board & CPU as you'll be up for DDR & a new PSU, or maybe you can pick up an older board,CPU,RAM combo on TM |

| 362895 | 2005-06-12 00:18:00 | your going to be pushing to find a 1.4GHZ P3, if i remember correctly intel recalled most of them. even the 1.3ghz where starting to get a little flaky. you could get a celeron but a slower p3 will eat a faster celeron for breakfast :) | tweak'e (69) | ||
