I want to upgrade my pentium II to a p3 but i never saw such a CPU in this shape before. Would this adapter work for the PIII (at the bottom)?

The Inside of the Case
The Processor
The Processor (Alternate)
CPU Slot

And the CPU

wow, kids.

never seen a cpu in that shape before. You don't know what you were missing.

Lol. you're right....I'm only like 17 I've never even opened a PII PC before now....

Yep on them old school 486 motherboard and the like, you actually had cache on the motherboard!, and used jumpers to set the frequency of the CPU!

My first pc that was mine and mine only was an 80-88 that I booted up dos from floppy (had no hdd), and played a mud called Valhalla on.

Super stable computer, the modem was 1200 baud.

At any rate, i'm only 30 so its not like I am old or anything. I did own a 386 with math co-processor that was the shiznit.

Try this site for upgrading an old Dell with a slot 1 processor. I upgraded my P2 @ 450 to a P3 @ 800. Both need to run at 100mhz. If you want to go up to a 1400 you absolutely need the Powerleap adapter. There are someways to do it with a regular adapter but I had no luck. Snipping pins on the processor and running some little wires. Couldn't get it to work.

My 386DX25 didn't have a mathco, but it was overclocked to 27MHz BABY!!! Frequency was controlled by a crystal in some metal piece with two pins, just unsolder old one and solder in new one. Oh yeah, the CPU was still passively cooled - very passively cooled because NO heatsink. Eat THIS, Preshott!!!
