273751 2004-09-19 06:42:00 but which CPU would be the fastest that i could use with the mobo? Mirddes (10)
273752 2004-09-19 06:48:00 Doesnt say but as noted before, it might only go to 233 mhz. Which isnt that high. Send a email to Amptron as it doesnt say anything about the max CPU it can take. Spacemannz (808)
273753 2004-09-19 07:26:00 Ive found reference that the PCChips M537DMA33 can take up to a k6 350 so if it is the same or rebadged then that would be a cheap upgrade that would be useful. If you are intending to upgrade the memory you will need to get double sided ram as the new sd ram on sale is singlesided and won't work,
You can get double bank sd ram new but don't and its way too expensive.
Pick up two secondhand 32 or 64 sd or 4x16 meg edo sticks.

DDR is nothing like EDO, EDO is a different size, runs slower and is installed in a different manner. Comparing EDO to DDR is just plain stupid.

273756 2004-09-19 08:51:00 iv got 4x8MB sticks of EDO ram on the mobo, would it be best for me to get rid or all 4 sticks and upgrade to 4x32MB or 4x64MB sticks, or would it be ok to have varied sizes? Mirddes (10)
273757 2004-09-19 08:57:00 Could possibly get a more modern (ex lease, sdram) machine for not much more than the cost of the ram.

Just out of interest,ECS is owned by PC Chips,they took over ECS in the late 90's after they invested all thier billions trying to break into the cd-drive market and it went knees up mutha brownstone.

NO, dump all the EDO & install SDRAMc in the 2 long black slots
