I want to upgrade my computer and I'm not a techno, so need some advice. The motherboard is an EP-MVP4M and it says the features are:
' Intel Pentium Processor, Pentium Processor with MMX technology, AMD K5/K6, Cyrix 6x86L/6x86MX & idt C6 operating at 133-500 MHz with 321 ZIF socket 7 provides scalability to accept faster Processors in the future.' (this is out of the manual).
In the start up system information it says K6-2 500MHz Now what I want to know is, how do I upgrade from 500MHz please. Any comments or advice much appreciated.

Sorry, if you want a faster clocking cpu, you are going to have to get a new motherboard. I wouldn't even suggest one without knowing what you want to accomplish with the upgrade.

I'm not very techie either.. but I doubt you can upgrade(if at all) to a very fast chip w/ that motherboard. Intel tries to make you get a new board it seems w/ their changing pin configurations..
anyway.. i'll just recommend some sites for ya to check out. They're sites i used while working on upgrading my pc.


www.pricewatch.com can find the best prices for stuff there
