I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm looking to upgrade my parents
computer for them as it is currently a 500Mhz P3 with 128MB RAM running XP.
My question lies in getting them a new CPU. The motherboard is a Dell from
about 5 years ago with the 440BX chipset and Slot 1 design. What is the
maximum this chipset will allow? I've been searching for a few days now and
can't seem to find the info I need. Can I use one of the Slot 1 adapters
I've seen around the net with a new Celeron at 1.1GHz or so? Even called
Dell in hopes that they might be of assistance but it seems as though
they've grown a bit too much to be as much help as they were then. The
memory is no problem I planned on throwing at least another 128 chip in
there for them, but the CPU is such a drag. Any thoughts?
Thanks much
