Hello Everyone. I have Win Me, P2 450 mhz, Asus P133 P3V4X Slot 1 Motherboard, 128 Ram, 30GB & 40 GB Harddrives & Matrox 32mb Video Card. I want to upgrade my P2 450mhz proccessor. How High can I go with this motherboard? Someone told me only P3 733mhz. Can someone verify this with the correct speed? If I do get the correct proccessor how do I go about installing this? Do I just remove the case and unplug the P2 450mhz processor and plug the P3 ???mhz processor in? Then when I power the machine I will see P3 ???mhz. Can someone tell me the correct steps to install a new processor and what else must I purchase ex: heat sink, fan or cables. So I guess I have 3 questions: 1. How high can I go with this motherboard? 2. How do I install this new processor? 3. What exactly else do I need to purchase? If someone can answer only one question please post. I really need to upgrade cuz I need to do this soon! Please and Thank you for all your help!
