I was considering picking up an AOpen FC-PGA CPU converter card and a PIII 933 CPU and installing it into my old AOpen AX6B Slot 1 BX motherboard. I already know that this configuration will be compatible with my board, but since my board is a BX chipset I will have to clock it at 100 MHz.
If I am correct a 7x multipler with a 133 MHz bus would be correct for a PIII 933 CPU, but since I would have a PIII 933 on a 100 MHz bus the 7x multiplier will give make my 933MHz CPU run at 700 MHz. (7x * 100MHz = 700MHz). I realize that I could overclock, but I don't want to go into that here.
Do you think I would notice a significant speed difference between the 700 MHz that this configuration would provide and the 350 MHz of my current CPU? I am running Win 2000 Pro with 192 MB PC-100 RAM and I would like to be able to do some video editing on this machine.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks.
