| 114470 | 2003-01-16 20:51:00 | My pc has an Intel Freeman motherboard and a Celeron 500 processor, my question is this, is it possible to upgrade to one of the new processors on this motherboard or do I have to get a new motherboard?If it is possible to upgrade on the existing motherboard will the system bus be still 60 or can I make it go faster.Thanks still learning. | kings (2729) | ||

| 114472 | 2003-01-17 08:17:00 | need to find model number and check on the manafactures web site to see what the highest cpu it can take. it most likly will need an updated bios so check the site for that as well. the highest you might be able to go is a 1 ghz p3. however a 1.3 ghz duron and new mobo might be a better option. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 114473 | 2003-01-20 06:43:00 | You wouldn't be able to go over 1Ghz max, most likely max you could go is 733Mhz with a Celeron. (11x66MHZ FSB) | kiwistag (2875) | ||
| 114474 | 2003-01-20 07:57:00 | without know the motherboard used its a little piontless to guess the max it could go. some boards can use a 133mhz bus but even at 100mhz 1ghz'ish if possible with the right board, bios etc. | tweak'e (174) | ||
