Comment: I had a Dell Dimension 8100 series. 1500 MHz. 1.5 GHz. 128 MB RAM.
I built a new computer and the motherboard just died. Can I use the chip from the new motherboard on my old motherboard? How do I know if it will work? My new chip is a Pentium 4, 3 GHz. I also would probably use the extra RAM from the new computer which would bring it up to 512mb.

Reply: (edit)It all depends if your motherboard will support it. I doubt it if it has a 1.5 Ghz in it so far. I suggest just getting a newboard for the stuff you have all ready if you wish to put it to use. Processor P4@ 2.6 Ghz, FSB@535Mhz
