| 127080 | 2003-03-10 06:33:00 | I'm looking at replacing my amd 1600+ with a amd 2400+. I'd like to install it myself - I've done a bit of reading on it. Has anyone had any experience installing CPU's? Are their any potential problems I should be aware of? Thanks in advance. Paul. |

| 127083 | 2003-03-10 06:44:00 | Installing the cpu in a zif socket is dead easy, it's fitting the heatsink properly that can be more difficult. The spring clips exert quite a large force, so care is needed, and the motherboard must be taken out and laid on a flat surface to do this. Have a look here: www.duxcw.com |
