Re: Which is the better CPU? Socket 7



for what it's worth, I built a cyrix system about 4 years ago for a friend
who was on a budget. It's been in daily use ever since. It runs word,
excel, outlook express, a browser, digital camera stuff, and a scanner. No
problems. Runs xp home with 512Mb ram. It's rock solid.

A guy at my brother's job wants to install a soundcard into
his very old PC. It's a Compaq 2260 desktop. Most of these guys don't
know anything about computers, and the most modern system I've worked
on so far was an Intel Celeron 2Ghz based Notebook a few years ago.
Most are Win98 based systems.
I haven't recieved the system from him yet, but looking at the
specs. on Compaq's website, it says it has sound. I'm thinking the
guy, or family members flubbered the OS up, and killed the sound, and
he thinks it physically broke. Anyway, I noticed the system uses a
Cyrix MII 300 CPU. It runs at 233Mhz. I have some Intel Pentium 233Mhz
MMX cpus sitting around. Which would be better? I'm thinking the Intel
would be more stable.
