:?: :) Help, I need advise on buying a CPU!!!! I have a P3 863 MHz Processor and I would like to update it for my system. (Compaq Presario 5010) and the motherboard is ACPI\PNP0C02\1

Any suggestions... I would appreciate it very much.

Your Manual will tell you what CPU's your Motherboard will support.
From what I can find out...your MOBO should support up to a 1.5Mhz CPU.
Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
It also seems your MOBO will only support 512MB of SD-Ram...
Read your Manual..should tell you all you need to know.

Thanks, I finally found my MOBO manual and decided to spend a little bit more this time, and build me up a PC, with better features. ThanX anyway
