CPU upgrade

[Oscar1613]

im looking into upgrading the family computer (Pentium II 400 gateway (ugh)). i found this and thought it might be worth a try. they have a Celeron 766 for $129, Celeron 1 GHz for $159 and a Celeron (Tualatin) 1.2 for $169... anyone had any experience with one of these? also, how big of a power supply would you need for either the 766 or 1.2?

The best out of the 3 u listed is the Celi (Tualatin) but you wount be albe to use it in ur gateway comp.......... i think u might use the other ones (depends on the type of the processor). Anyhow if u are not gonna go over 1gig i'd say 250W of power is sufficient........... if you gonna go beyond the speed of sound, go with 300W just to be save.

Did you think about getting your own celeron & a sloket, & fan.

The Cele 1 gig is about $60 @ Th0mpsens Com Whse & shipping is a flat 6.95

I agree. This is a better price/performance solution.

Whatever you do, go for a Celeron 800 - 1100. Below 800 used a 66 MHz bus, 800 and up use 100 MHz bus. Best bet is get your own slocket and CPU
