i have an old computer tha i have added ram and a new harddrive to and was hopeing that i could add a cpu becuase it a 400mhz i dont know what the diffrent between sockeets are and wich one i have so that i can buy a new one i have an old asus mobo i dont know if there are modo limits as far as speed but im gona get about a 1ghz maybe a little bit more all i know about my cpu now is its a intel celeron 400mhz (dont know socket) it has a coolermaster heatsink on it if anyone could find some pics i might becuaes to show what it looks like as far as i can tell its big and isnt flat on the mobo it sticks out about 2 1/2 inchs if u need more info i can try to give it
diffrent in cpu sockets if the cpu is a cip type, then its socket 370 otherwise slot1. it shud be a 370 and i think although u can put a different cpu in, ur mobo may still limit u to how fast a pcu can be inserted, due to fsb diferentiations
diffrent in cpu sockets It should say on the beige plastic where the cpu sits which fitting it is. It will probably be a 370 though, ive got a 450 celeron and a 633 celeron which are both 370. Its a bit of a shame actually, I made a spreadsheet of the specs of every processor made between 71-97 but haven't done the celerons, pentium 3 etc yet. It would have been usefull here!
diffrent in cpu sockets ay wikipeida they have alot about it they show what cpu work wiuth what slots but im just cjecking here im gonna open the computer up and try to rip the cooler off again
diffrent in cpu sockets Okay, does the CPU connector look more like a long slot and colored brown? For the motherboard model, look between the PCI slots. It should be listed right after the Asus logo. Knowing this is important as it can help determine what CPU upgrade limits you have.
diffrent in cpu sockets ok i got a screw driver out and slamed it in the cooler till it poped out and i couldnt find anything saying what slot it is but it was long a brown not the normal square one is it possible that that wasnt the cpu
diffrent in cpu sockets Your CPU is in a Slot 1 layout. They're available up to 1GHz, but wether or not you can put a 1GHz chip in it is going to depend on the motherboard.
ok i posted b4 on a difrent topic what my mobo is i just got to search for it ok i found it its a asus as97127f what diffrent cpus could i use i would like to use a p-3 it has win98 if thats important
That number is a chip on the motherboard. Look for some writing between the expansion slots on the motherboard itself, not any chips on it.
