Help with Upgrade

[bac]

I have a Millennia (B302-B100) RS 2100 with a spitfire- gvc ar862 w/intergrated component and I would like to upgrade the processor to it's fastest chip.

My problem is it's so very hard to track down who made the motherboard to get tips.

I've got some Micron machines. If you're still in the 3 yrs (I think) warranty period you might contact them, Phone or online. I've had good experience with their tech support of my older machines.

XP 2000+
MSI KT3 ULTRA-2 KT333
Maxtor 60GB ATA 133 7200RPM

ABIT G4 Ti4200 OTES 64MB
Win98SE

I don't think I'll be buying any more MicronPC's any time soon.

I'm trying to save the one I have now.

In a nut-shell I want to swap processors up as high as I can, before I start adding other stuff.

If I have to get a newer system all together MPC is not my first choice.

Thanks for asking though.

It's a GVC motherboard, silly. They're a major OEM supplier. Also known as BCM. You can find links to the company from wimsbios.com.

Oh OK, I'm a total newbie as you can see. I like that you think I should've known, but we can't all be as smart ass you .

Thanks for the reply. I think I am truely getting closer to my goal, I'd rather spend 400 trying to learn how to fix my old system then 500 on one just as crappy
