Upgrading an AMD Duron 750Mhz

[gvazqu1cs]

I have this
Duron 750Mhz CPU
on this
Compaq Presarion 5wv270
I can only ugrade to a CPU that fits in the socket A(462) and whose front side bus is at most 200Mhz correct?

Are there any other parameters that I should take into consideration?

I can pick from some Durons and Athlons and even some Athlon MPs or XPs, as long as the front side bus runs at 200MHz right?

Thanks.

I did a looking-up for you...:


AMD @ 200FSB:

#1AMD Athlon 650mhz up to Athlon 1400mhz

#2AMD Duron 550mhz up to Duron 1300mhz


Mobiles:

#1 M Athlon 4 1000(1000mhz) up to 1600+(1400mhz)

#2 M XP Athlon Thoroughbred (35W) 1400+(1200 MHz) up to 1900+(1600 MHz)

#3 M XP Athlon Thoroughbred (25W) 1400+(1200mhz) up to 1800+(1500mhz)

#4 Athlon XP-M 1900+(1600 MHz)

#5 Duron 600mhz up to 1300mhz

..from here it's all I know!

Oh and yes, 200fsb is the boards max !

Thanks. That's what I thought.

I would stick with a Duron or a less then 1400MHz Athlon.
Compaqs power supplies are utter crap and may not be able to handle the added pull of a A1400
