help finding a cpu

[sonoma1993]

I need help finding a cpu for my compaq presario 5000 series 5BW120 model. I just got this computer from my girlfriend family today cuz they got a new dell computer lastnight. So i wanna upgrade this intel celeron processor to a PIII. I talked to the compaq support site they said it'll support up to a PIII 1.13ghz 133fsb. So yeah do you guys know were i can find this cpu? newegg has one for $45.00 but i want some recommendations from you guys. I want just to make sure this cpu will acctully work with this computer model too. thanks for the help.

buy a tualatin based celeron, and slocket if applicable. set FSB to 133 and have fun at 1.33GHz+

I believe the 1.13 P3 at Newegg is a Tualatin. Are you sure the board will actually support a Tualatin? There were 1.13 Coppermines, I believe. You need to find out if the board will support the Tualatins before you buy the chip from Newegg.

Also make sure you have memory that will do 133mhz.

the 1.13 coppermines never really made it to market. they were pulled because they were unstable at default speeds.

i was going to post this originally, but the tueleron deal would still be the best (using a slocket of course).

if its PGA370, then get an adapter.

Well, I'm thinking that the guy at Compaq wouldn't know that, and the manual would still list a 1.13 coppermine as the fastest chip it could take.

well i just order a PIII 1.0ghz coppermine cpu 133fxb, and i also order 2 256mb of crucial pc133 memory. this computer isnt my main rig. My main one is a amd athlon 64 3200+ winchester skt 939.

I think the 810e only uses PC66 or PC100 ram.

The processor FSB is 133 and the memory speed is 100 with a 133fsb P3 on the 810e chipset.

Hopefully your PC133 will operate properly with the board at 100mhz.

I believe 512MB is the max ram for the 810e as well.

That is a bit strange, all RAM should be backwards compatible.
When I had a PIII rig, my Abit BF6 board had no problem with pc133,
eventhough the specs called for pc100.
Cheers.

I have a Dell L667r with the 810e chipset and I never found any PC133 that would work in it. PC100 or nothing. For the longest time I thought it was running PC133 memory since it had a 133FSB P3 chip in it. I was wrong the whole time though. It runs the CPU FSB and the ram out of synch.

According to Intel, the 810e only supports PC66/100 ram, but it can run CPUS with 66/100/133 fsb's. I agree with you that PC133 should be backward compatible, but I haven't found that to be the case with this board. Keeping in mind that these are proprietary OEM boards and not retail boards. I am certain a retail board would just run the PC133 at PC100 speeds without a problem.

It's amazing what you find out when you run CPUID or CPU-Z!

I completely agree with the OEM factor. Over the years I've
come accross many anomalies w/ white box components.
Sorry, if I'm a bit off topic.
