PROCESSOR TALK

[need help]

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

We need more information. Whattype 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

its a celeron on the back it says it has 466 mhz i dont know what u mean slot?
how would i find this out?

[caperjack]

Aida 32 is a exelent program ,but not as user friendly as wcpuid

By definition, aCeleron 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.

thx that helped but i have to keep alot of the windows on the desktop to keep it

[need help]

the system bus is 66.46 mhz 16k socket 370

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 .

how do i get more mhz??
do ihave to buy another computer or can i buy sum? (like memory)

whats fsb?

what kind of processor would i be better off with? where i could play cs (counter strike)

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?

[need help]

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?

[need help]

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.

If we knew the name and # of your board we could tell you if the 1.2 will work with your board ,the adia 32 program will tell you the name and # of the board .just open the program an click on motherboard in the left pane and then motherboard again in the right pain .

it dont skip when im playing only when its play an i log onto the web plus i also wanna speed the computer up.
