Each CPU has a speed in mhz. For a faster machine, you need a faster CPU. However, by keeping hte existing motherboard, it's unlikely you'll be able to buy a CPU with a much faster processor than your existing one. (Motherboards are only compatible with certain CPUs).

so all i really have to do is buy a new faster mother board an ill get more mhz an memory or is it included in the new mother board?

i was trying to figure stuff out an i dont know if i got this or not but is every 10 mb 100 mb or am i completely comfused?

i know this has nothing to do with the subject but i need to upgrade my media it windows media i think its that old version with the windows logo picture on it i just want to upgrade it to a better one which one should i get?

i think i might have found a compatible processor its an intel pentium 3 socket 370 133 mhz 256 kb 1.2 ghz does that sound compatible?

Let's go back to the statement, "It skips when he plays music off the Web. This is not related to cpu mhz, or buss mhz, but it is directly related to download speed from his ISP. He may have to find a higher
speed connection such as DSL, or Satellite. Also we don't know the connect speed or the download speed of his modem. The connect or log
on speed is not the same as download speed. I use a dialup phone line and rarely see over 7k download, but i have listened to music and have had it skip sometimes. The key sometimes is how many on the net are accessing that server at once. It is a fact that servers are time share and the more people that are downloading from that server the slower
each one that is downloading will get.
I hope this helps.
