Hi
I have just started my first upgrade, and need some help on what cpu, or motherboard/cpu upgrade i can do.
I got some details of my pc off Balarc.

200 megahertz Intel Pentium w/MMX
Compaq Deskpro 4000
BIOS: Compaq 586V 12/09/98
160 Megabytes Installed Memory
Windows 2000 Professional (build 2195)

thanks Z

What are you looking to do with this system?
Also do you know the exact model Desk Pro 4000 ____?
I'm guessing this is a P1 system but not sure.

Machine just for internet, I have installed win 2000 on it and it seems really slow so I thought an upgrade would help. It's Deskpro 4000 200, pent 1. thanks for reply.

Unfortunately the P1 maxed out about 250Mhz and even for an Internet box I don't believe you'll get too much more out of it with the graphics and code on today's pages. I have an old PIII 550Mhz with 512 Meg of Ram that will just about load some of the pages today.
