| I want this piece of poo to go faster. Here's what's in it (Pavillion XG843) according to HP.com: *Intel Celeron 800 MHz processor *Socket 370 *100 MHz FSB Here's what I want (couldn't find anything better) according to newegg.com: Model: Intel Pentium III Core: Tualatin Operating Frequency: 1.13GHz FSB: 133MHz Cache: L1/16K+16K; L2/256K Voltage: 1.5V Process: 0.13Micron Socket: Socket 370 Multimedia Instruction: MMX, SSE, SSE2 Packaging: OEM(Processor Only) So would that work in this computer? Is it worth it? (They're asking 50 bucks US, but unless they stop the 'only ships to US' crap pretty quick, I won't be buying it there for obvious reasons.  ) Or is there some way I could just overclock this one? |

| I don't believe that CPU would work in your system, unfortunately. From what I could gather (and finding upgrade info for your computer was not very easy), the fastest CPU you could probably put in there would be an 850MHz Coppermine PIII w/100MHz FSB. You might just be better off getting a whole new computer, unless there's a big performance difference between the Celeron and the PIII, or you can find such a CPU for a decent price. | |||

| I remember for my Dell, that max CPU it supported was a P2-450 and I already had P2-400. Anyways, considering how archiac the machine is, I do agree that you are better off buying a brand new computer than just simply upgrading the CPU. Not unless your motherboard does support a pentium CPU...you have to verify that with the HP technical specs of your system. | |||

Bleh. Yeah, I need to upgrade, but the one I have in mind costs 1 grand US, which means I have a total of 1 grand US to go.  |

I could send you my SOYO DRAGON Plus! board, which supports up to an Athlon XP 2100+ (I believe), though replacing the leaky capacitors would be entirely your responsibility.  |

| You live in Sudbury, ja? If I upgrade my computer and go to Laurentien Uni, then I'll give you my old mobo and celeron. Hell, I'll throw in a Radeon. |

Close to it.  BMF: Heh, no thanks. I already blew up what I suspect was a capacitor or two on my laptop.  |
