| 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. |

| 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. Cheers Murray P |
