I picked up this old Dell XPS-D266, and was wondering how fast of a proc I can get into this thing, slocketing or no.
The chipset is a 440LX, and the mobo is a Slot 1

specs here Microprocessor speeds 233 MHz internal/66 MHz external
266 MHz internal/66 MHz external
300 MHz internal/66 MHz external
333 MHz internal/66 MHz external
not much of an upgrade...
if you can flash the bios to enable coppermine support (some did) you could upgrade to any of the coppermine celerons, also, if that is not possible, you could put in a medecino(sp?) celeron with adapter running at 533.
edit : Forgot to add, that if you do the celeron upgrade, the adapter that you use MUST support different voltages for it to work, not all slot-socket adapters will do that.
Matridom is right about Mendocino Celerons - it is true for good MBs like ASUS.
But Dell... that's another story... :( I think, PII-333 will be fastest CPU supported by this MB... :rolleyes:
I guessed that myself. I may shoot for the slocket, though.
i say if you can get the parts cheap enough go for it.
