 |
|
| Sorry for the repeat thread- I wanted to subscribe to the topic so I had to make a new thread as a registered user. Can I drop a Pentium III Tualatin 1.4GHz in a computer that came with a Pentium III Coppermine 866MHz? It's a Compaq Presario 5010US if that makes any difference, and the motherboard is a BMW 2 (Tonka). I think the only thing i have to worry about is the voltage, 1.75 now versus 1.5 with the 1.4 GHz, but I've heard that the motherboard will automatically give it the right voltage. I think I need a new HS/fan also because the heat spreader on the Tualatin is larger than the Coppermine. Thanks! |

| I'm almost positive that system won't run a Tualatin core P3 |

| Ok thanks, but why not? The voltage? If so, would I be ok using the best Coppermine I can find, I believe it's a 1GHz? |

| I had the Compaq Presario 5010US a long time ago, I think the motherboard was the same. Your best bet is SL52R. Coppermine cores only. |

| Ok great, that makes up my mind, but does anyone know why? Is it the voltage difference? |

| Because that board doesn't support Tualatin cores. It's not a voltage issue, it's a compatibility issue. |

| Ok, I just figured since all of the other specs are the same..... Well thanks everyone! That's what I'll go with then. |

| Sorry, but I think I have one last question. What is the difference between the SL52R and the SL5DV? Looking at all the specs, they seem to be the same chip. |
