Will I be able to upgrade to a new processor in 6 months? This is my new system:

[Moonshield]

Celeron 366@550
256MB PC100 Kingston
Abit BF6
Abit SlocKET
CL Annihilator Pro
Vortex 1 SC
Diamond Supra Express 56k ISA
WD Expert 20.5GB ata/66/100
TEAC Floppy
SuperMicro "Hydraulic" Black Mid-T case

Would I be able to upgrade to a 700MHz P3 later? a FC-PGA p3? I can always do that, correct?

A little confused..

With a system like that, I would wait for Willamette(P4).

 

[TheMadBastard]

Yes you will. This Motherboard will go up to 800 MHz according to their web site.

Just make sure you get the 100 MHz FSB coppermine so you can OC it (or get another motherboard when it's time to upgrade).

I have a similar system, for the same reason, PII-400 is still available, so I expect the pIII 800 (or so) at 100 mhz to be long available as well.

Moonshield,

I just built a system with a BF6 with a CII @ 850.

no sweat on the upgrade amigo.

 

[Burnedhardware]

buy the c2-566 ,oc it at 850 or wait until the pIII-800@100 mhz is cheap enough

 

[Moonshield]

Well the only new upgrade is the BF6 (now a BE6-2, they were out, giving me 10 bucks less on the price of BF6 for BE6-2, sending me a OC guide and Gentus Linux OS for free..the lady acted like she didn't want me to kill her..so she gave me free stuff...some trials too, LOL)

Everything Else (case is a new pruchse.....3 weeks old) is old. The Celeron is free, so I was gunna get a Coppermine 800 and OC it in 6 months or so.

 

[Moonshield]

LXi you said. "With a system like that"
Did you mean it sux? Because I make approximately ~110 bucks a day. And I have to feed my whole family, and buy them clothes. This is quite a accomplishment. Don't feel so free to insult someonees computer, we all aren't bill gates

 

[Snakeus]

Moonshield I believe that LXi was saying that the computer that you had should do you fine until the PIV came out and that getting anything in between would be fruitless and a waste of your family feeding funds.

I could be wrong.
