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.

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.

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

<< 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?
