Re: Upgrade Intel 440LX motherboard- from 233 Mhz Pentium2

This computer goes on sale for 150 bucks sometimes. check out outpost
everyday for a coupkle weeks . don't upgrade when you can buy a new
bottom of the line model including mouse and keyboard for 150 bucks, I
bought one of these when I was looking for a new motherboard a year
ago,(slightly slower Sempron ) cause 100 bucks for a motherboard and
100 bucks for a new cpu then you need new memory cause its all ddr or
ddrq2 memory, this is just to cheap at 149.95

hi all,

I have a PC with Pentium II 233 Mhz/ Intel 440LX motherboard.
Running windows 98, and after we have installed wifi in our house, and
upgraded this pc to
a Wifi PCI card, it became ubearably slow after about 30 minutes from
boot. (the mouse cursor hardly moves).

I know there is one sure upgrade option- put in a 333Mhz Pentium II but
I'm not sure its worth the hassle. (From what I remember, 40%
additional CPU speed does not always return a 40% system performance
increase).

I read Bill Selk's 440LX web site-
[url]http://home.earthlink.net/~billselk/al440lx/slockets2.html[/url]
He mentions there that it is possible to run a 100Mhz FSB CPU into my
66Mhz motherboard, and it will work albeit at a lower speed:

"You can put a 100 MHz FSB CPU in your system, but it will only run at
66 MHz. So, if you buy a 800 MHz Celeron 2 processor, it will only run
at 533 MHz (the clock multiplier multiplied by the front side bus
speed, or 8 times 66 MHz). "


I have tried to find his recommended upgrade, the POWERLEAP PL-IP3/T
"slocket 2" upgrade, on E-bay, with a 66Mhz cpu but the only one I find
Is one with a 1.4GHz 100 Mhz CPu. I would like to know any opinions
whether this is worth a try and will simply work as he suggests (but at
what speed?), at a slower speed or not work at all,
and is the item below a Celeron 2 at all?

POWERLEAP PL-IP3/T CELERON 1.4GHZ 1.4 1400 CPU

Thank you!!

Also... Is this a Celeron 2 or 1?

will it match the POWERLEAP PL-IP3/T ?
