hi,

Im interested in upgrading the current p3 chip I have to a better one.
The current processor that I have is a p3 at 900mhz. I was looking at website and they are selling a p3 chip at 1200mhz, and a celeron chip at 1200mhz; both for $12.

Will either of these chips be compatiable w/ the computer I have right now.

Im not interested in changing the mother board as im am sorta lazy and cant afford it.

What are you hoping to accomplish with this CPU upgrade?

List the make/model of your board & maybe someone will be able to help.

Did you try it??

You didn't list the make/model of your board like I asked...without it, no one can tell you which CPU will work.

Just forget about using a P3 for games. Its time to move on and put your hand in your pocket. What is the game in question?

Quad Xeon/4GB/8800GT
