Sorry I was wrong you are going to have to go with the thoroughbred because of your motherboard and 266Mhz FSB

100% sure that I am not.\n\nI can tell you though that the PCI Express x1 should be able to work in a "higher" slot (ie. x16).\n\nI know this to be true for AGP, but then again PCI Express is a tad different. NewEGG rules.\n\nHappy Easter.

Try the source link below\n\nBrad says:\nHere's a link to the manual for that board in case you don't have one:\n\nftp://ftp.epox.com/support/motherboard/manuals/p55vp.pdf\n\nIt mentions K6 but not -2 or -3. Vcore supports 2.5, 2.8, and 2.9. Not what the doctor ordered for most -2 and -3 chips but I think a previous thread got into the more rare -2 chips that run at 2.5 volts, the imbedded processor and/or mobil models if I remember right, so there should be a chance. Check the following page for AMD docs and ID info on them:\n\nhttp://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_739_1102,00.html\n\nA BIOS update may also be required for the board to recognise and properly use a -2 or -3. Latest BIOS dated\n04/22/1997 is at:\n\nhttp://www.epox.com/html/english/support/motherboard/bios/vp.htm

I would ask at http://tomshardware.com in the forum under overclocking section.

Definitely not.  I've got a 2.4 Ghz Skt. 754 Athlon 64, and a dual-core 2.2 Ghz Skt. 939 based system.  Before I overclocked the Skt. 939, it was slower than the Skt. 754.  Well, it was slower using ALMOST all software.  The Skt. 939 dual-core was considerably faster while using software that was multi-processor enabled, of course.\n\nThe biggest difference between the two will be if you're using the systems for gaming.  Nearly all Skt 754 motherboards are AGP based, and the few that had PCI-E slots weren't very good.  With Skt 939, you can spend alot of money on a really nice PCI-E video card, and will be able to play games like never before, if you spend enough.

How comes you're using XP Pro on a "P3 class" Celeron with only 64MB Ram. This is a mismatch that couldn't be greater. To run XP Pro you need at least 256MB and even this is low. I suppose you previously had W98 or W98SE, go back to that OS to increase the speed without upgrading the hardware.\n\nBut if you want to stay with the XP Pro, you have to upgrade the memory to the maximum (512MB ?), this is not that expensive. But be careful, not even Crucial has the Ram type of the HP Pavilion 7700 in it's database, so it seems your system may require proprietary or non-standard Ram.

yes it does, i recently custom buit my wonderful desktop with a AMD 939 socket motherboard and DDR2 RAM\n\nthis is the motherboard I use\n\nhttp://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?DetailID=506&MenuID=90&LanID=9

That's not one of the most current emachines - see link below for a list of the current models.  As a current user of a W2698 emachines (Athlon XP 2600+), and a former user of an Athlon XP 1800+ from emachines (game me 2 years of good service until it went to be with the Lord) I am quite satisfied, overall, with the value you receive when you buy a PC from meachines - you get more for your money than from any other manufacturer.

It would be best to ask the computer manufacturer or the motherboard manufacturer, or someone out there who has one. Try the online website support for that MBD.\n\nIt depends how old that motherboard is. I am about to try the same CPU on my 1999 Tyan S1854 motherboard.

Again, we have people trying to answer questions they know nothing about. The problem you have is the technology for this board has become outdated and ASUS doesn't support it on their website any longer. I would go back to their web site and use the "Contact Us" information to force them to give you the specs on your board. It could be listed elsewhere on the internet, but I can't find it either.\n\nHere is the link for their contact information and Motherboard support team.\n\nhttp://support.asus.com/contact/contact.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

try the AMD website. I did this for intel and it worked well.

Any motherboard that has an AGP 4x/8x slot.

For home use go for amd athlon 64 fx-51 dual core. (about £300)

Anything AMD go with an NForce4 based board.  As far as best?  There is no real answer.  But, I can give this advise.  Go cheap.  ECS and others make really good motherboards and lower prices.  Read the ECS reviews on Newegg to see.  Check out my link below.  Extra money doesn't mean extra speed.  It seems a $60 board performs equal to a $250 board.  So why spend the extra?

it will work only if you know how to underclock. my suggestion is to buy a new motherboard and start from scratch. since you allreay have a box then upgrading is easy. you need to price what you want to upgrade to by going to newegg.com or computergeeks.com. compare prices and maybe even upgrade your box. prices for complete systems run around 400$-1000$ depending on what you want.good hunting\nand its not recommended to upgrade a pc with a new cpu that runs faster than what the board can handle.you will eventualy run into more problems than its worth.\nbe sure to stick with a ddr(ram) board.\n\nand for the record,you can get cheap hardware and software from these two sites.\n\nThe MaddMann\n\nps:here is a bare bones system that you put together:\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=J-S775KIT-K10&cat=BBK
