Re: Is this CPU upgrade possible?

youre going to be playing the game of hit & miss BIGTIME

A) it really depends if the latest bios from sony will support the 3.06 ghz northwood cpu ?

no ... it wont run the memory at 400mhz because the cpu is only capable of 533mhz which is PC 2700

that upgraded cpu will "use" PC3200 memory / which is DDR400 but it will down grade to the speeds of PC2700 which is 266mhz FSB

hope this helps


IMHO you are really overdue to start making a savings account for a new system >>>>> start with that $175.00 you are about to WASTE
