IS-IT--Management
I own a DELL Dimension XPS R400....It contains a Pentium II 400 Mhz with 224 MB RAM, an IBM 12.9 GB (master) HDD, Quantum 40 GB Fireball Plus AS (slave) HDD, Toshiba DVD-ROM, Sony Spressa External USB CD-RW, Iomega 100 MB Internal Zip Drive, NVidia 16 MB Video Card, NIC Card,...and so on....
This was a good system 3 years ago but was outdated about 1 month after I owned it....I now want to upgrade the exisitng system to make it a bit faster...however DELL techs tell me that since I only have a 100 Mhz FSB I can go no faster than a 450 Mhz....
Question #1
Is there another faster processor that I can just plug into my exisitng MOBO?
Question #2
If I find a MOBO Combo will it plug into the rest of the hardware I have without any hitches? and will it mount in the case I have?
What is the best action to take.....
Thanx,
Jeff
