Dell P133 Upgrade Possibilities?

[Salvador]

Hi,

I have a buddy with a Dell Pentium 133 Desktop and he currently has 80 mb's of RAM running Windows 95. We're trying to speed it up a bit so he can run Windows 98.

More RAM? Faster chip? What's the fastest chip he can put on something like this? CPU Overdrive? New system?

Any suggestions?

TIA,

Sal

I would suggest a new system, if you consider the costs of buy an overdrive CPU that might work in that system and any else you may add.

It will run Win98 now without a problem if you turn off all the animation.

Maybe a 200 non-mmx chip for about $20. With 80mb of ram I'd guess all four ram slots are filled. $30 for 2X32mb EDO....

..But for that money get an AT Motherboard and a 366 or so Celeron.

It really depends on his budget and how much effort he wants to expend.

Ouch. 133 MHz.

My MEMORY alone runs faster than that Sorry.
Is he really so cheap that he can't afford spending $300 or so on a used PC on Ebay that will be 5 times faster than this?! Optionally, you can build a new PC like 128 MB RAM, some Duron 800, cheap Mobo with integrated sound + video + 20 GB HD...
