I'm rehabbing a performance 450 sn0014460719 to donate. This computer has a p3, 450/100 slot 1 cpu. does anyone know if a cpu upgrade is possible, and if so how fast will this machine support? 600-700 would be great. 1ghz is too pricey.
Thanks in advance. Rick.
the motherboard is a jabil bx part number 4000502. gateway support gives no info on cpu upgrades. I can buy a cpu in the 600-700 mhz range for about twenty bucks.
Gateway support link http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD/INTEL/m00264/M0026428.shtml Is that 450 p3 all you can do with this machine ?

just an update. I purchased a p3 650mhz for $8. I figured if it didn't work, that wasn't a whole lot to eat. I installed it tuesday night. It has about 24 hours on it now and is running without any problems. It really perked the old thing up.
Thanks for reading my post.:) Rick.
ps this board had an intel bx chipset.
