UPGRADE PROCESSOR PENTIUM IV 2,6ghz TO 3,2 OR HIGHER

danstijl — Sat, 18 Jun 2005 07:53:12 GMT

Hi People,

Got a desktop RS322e with a new graph crd(geforce) and 1,5g internal mem etc, works after 2,5yrs very very good and fast also with great pictures shopping, BUT now was wondering, can I upgrade my 2,6ghz processor to a higher pentium processor, wich and what recommended and most important do I really get results because it allready works fine, but you guys know, we always wants more and higher esspecially to over rule my apple collegues (just doing it already with my vgna 117s 1gig)
really thanks guys!!!:smileyconfused:

What is that for a Pentium?
A or B? How big is the FSB?

Sorry don't know what you mean, A or B and FSB......

I suggest getting Everest Home Edition and looking at the properties of the CPU, note the type of CPU, FSB and socket type and then use this information to see what CPU you can upgrade to.

Yeah, that is good idea.

Pecause Pentium4 isn't Pentium4. There are some different models.

Yes:smileygrin:

If I'm think right then the fastest Northwood CPU with HyperThreading has 3,4GHz. Be sure that you buy a Pentium4 C HT with "Northwood" kernel. (the P4B with 3,066GHz supports also HT but it has only 533MHz FSB, the P4C has 800MHz FSB) I don't know whether a Prescott would run. And the Northwood produced less heat. But you would need a better cooling.

But for the 3,4 GHz model, you would need a higher Core-Voltage. That's why a the 3,2GHz model could be the maximum. You can't encrease the Core-Voltage on a VAIO.

Nice one Chris.

You are right Seb, increasing the voltage is locked by the BIOS

yeah:smileysad: If my information are correct, then the 3,4GHz CPU need 0,05volts more than the 3,2GHz CPU. But 3,2GHz are OK, IMO.
