PII Xenon Question

[RC7]

Do PII Xenon cpus need certain PII mobos? I might upgrade my sister's computer with one of these.

Xenon gas, when used with CPU's, is probably bad. Unless it's a noble gas? Check if it's on the right side of the periodic table. It might react though.

 

[Zach]

And, anyway, Xeon CPU's are for Slot 2 motherboards, not slot 1. Most PII boards will take at least 600Mhz though, unless they are quite old, which might be 333Mhz tops.

Isn't Xenon a rare gas? (I think that's what they're called in french, but I slept most of the time in chemistry, so who knows...)

The Xeon CPU, however, needs a Slot2 so it won't work in P2 motherboards.

 

[Zach]

Now that you mention it, Xeons are rare too... hmm, let's ponder the intertwining of the universe.. explore our new buddhist perspectives...
hmm...

hmmmhmmm..

hmmmm..

hm.

Xenon is rare partially because it's such a heavy noble gas

Is it really a noble gas? DId I actually remember something from Chem 221?
