I'm upgrading my Celeron 533 to a P3-800 and I have a few questions. Maybe someone could advice...
Mobo is Atrend ATC-6310-V. Memory is 256MB Apacer PC-100.
1. My mobo is slot 1, but I'm currently using a PPGA celeron on a converter. Should my P3 be a FCPGA (can I mount it on the card?), or should I buy a slot 1?
2. E, B or EB? My mobo supports 133 FSB, but my RAM is PC100 and I wouldn't want to blow 100 bucks in RAM (and throw away my current one). Can I OC Apacer memory to 133? Or, in the reverse, can I put an EB processor and expect it to work at 100 FSB?
3. Can you reccomend a place where I can buy? I live in Mexico, but I have an international credit card and an adress in Texas, so I can order from anywhere. But returns can be a real hassle, so I'd love to get it right the first time
Thanks for you help. I really appreciate it
If it ain't broken, break it. Then fix it.
