Socket 7 is square, Slot 1 is, well.......a slot. ;-) What's on a mobo is meaningless, always out of date. You'd think they'd correct these things with new silk-screening since they do that with the mobo revision #'s, but not with the jumper info for CPU's! Only way to know is to go the mobo maker's website and find out the specs for the latest revision. Of course if it's Socket 7, don't bother, nor would I with XP. If it's a Slot then you need to find out if it can take faster CPU's and if it's close to 800mhz or so, XP may be worth it.
'98 isn't an option? ME isn't much of an "upgrade" over '98, but it shouldn't require any more CPU power over '98. If NT was working ok on it, why not stay with it? -Clint Merry Christmas to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com/computers/specials.html ) http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "LarryB" How about Millennium? Would that operate any better? On the Socket 7 and Slot 1. How do I tell? There are no indication on the Mother Board that I can see. The Pentium chip has 20 pins in one direction and A thru Y in the other. The computer speed has jumpers that can go from 90 mhz processor with 60mhz bus speed up to max of 233 mhz MMX and 66 mhz on the bus. It is jumped at max.
