PROCESSOR TALK
 

i got a new computer an my cousin tought me a lot about them mostly the basics but im learning more an it is very very slow an it skips alot when u play music like when u go on the web it starts to skip . neway i would like to get a new processor to speed it up an my questions are...

what kind should i get? its an acer

does it matter how much ghz i have before i put it in?

where can i go to find how much mgz i have?

i know i have 466mhz an 255ram if that helps

Re: PROCESSOR TALK
 

We need more information. What type of processor is it? Intel Celeron or Pentium II, AMD K6? Which socket? Socket 7, Slot 1, or Socket 370? Which chipset?

The amount of advantage you will get by going to a faster processor is likely minimal. It's possible that the BIOS will not support faster processor speeds. It's also likely that the RAM is rated 66 MHz.

A good, free tool for gathering this type of information is Aida 32 -- http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32

By definition, a Celeron 466 fits Socket 370. It also means that your effective upgrade possibilities are about zilch. It's more economical to replace the unit. Even if you got a faster processor, your memory is probably only 66 MHz. You migt be able to find a faster Pentium III, but you may have to replace the memory, too, with 100 MHz type. Give us the Acer model number, maybe we can find out more.

Re: PROCESSOR TALK
 

if you open the case and find the name or number on the motherboard ,and do a search on Google.com with the number you should be able to fine the manufactor of the board and then go to there site and finde a manual with the info needed to tell you what processor 's it will take .like this one i have ,just as a sample to what you can find about you board on line .
