289949 2004-11-10 01:33:00 Hey guys I am in dire need of an AMD Duron 1.4Ghz CPU with a FSB of 200Mhz,

I have looked at pricespy and they pointed me to pcgear[dot]co[dot]nz.

Unfortunately I've just heard back from them and they are unable to source me one.

Are there any PF1er's out there who could supply me with one.

I am doing an upgrade for a 50+ couple who work with me. Obviously they do not require lightning fast technology and besides they do not have much of a budget, I have given them a stick of 512MB PC133 SD RAM and a 40GB hard drive for nothing but they will have to pay for the CPU which I don not have myself.

They have a HP Pavilion 8905. I've rung HP and the tech told me the fastest CPU that could be fitted to the board was a Duron 1.4Ghz with a FSB of 200Mhz.

Is there anyone who can help me out. Any reasonable offers will be considered.

cheers

289950 2004-11-10 01:41:00 Have you tryed the likes of Trademe and the Trade and Exchange? If you manage to find one pay particular attention to the cooling, the original Athlons/Durons 1 . 3-1 . 4GHz were very hot .

If my memory serves me right they didnt make a 1 . 4GHz Duron with a 200MHz FSB, but im probably wrong . I always thought the fastest Duron was the 1 . 33 based on the Spitfire core, then they changed over to the Throughbred B core .

289952 2004-11-10 02:44:00 You could try sending an email to a few PC assemblers and see if they have any lying around, people may have brought there PC's into be upgraded and may have some older chips they want to sell. Pete O'Neil (250)
289953 2004-11-10 02:48:00 If you use Everest Home Edition on the computer in question you can find out the actual motherboard manufacturer and model number. You can find out the max CPU supported yourself. alphazulusixeightniner (185)

289955 2004-11-10 02:56:00 Duron 200 FSB went up to 1.3. Athlon 200 FSB went to 1.4.

Duron 266 FSB got up to 1.8G

289958 2004-11-10 11:57:00 Thanks for that Peter,

From your e-mail... are you saying that I can put an Athlon CPU in the 462 cpu socket?

It's a Santa-Fe GLA motherboard?

Never heard of it before.

cheers
