not by the looks of it, i may be wrong but it looks like you need a socket 1 or a socket 370

what is the make and model of the mobo?

or existing cpu?

by the looks of it, your mobo seems to take a socket 370 (from google searches)

here are some socket 370 cpu's

it doesnt matter they cost a bit too much anyway i was just wondering if that would fit because it was reli cheap.
do you know of anywhere that does sells cheap RAM?

yeah, it wouldnt be worth buying one new as there would be a huge improvement....

try www.dabs.com or ebay... they are my 2 favorite sites for computer parts

do you know what type of ram you are looking for? if you do not get the correct type, it may not fit

Running Windows XP Service Pack 2 on a Celeron 850MHz PC with 256MB RAM will almost always be a struggle. For the last couple of months, I've been making do with a Pentium III 1100MHz PC with 384MB RAM and Windows XP Service Pack 2 and, when I've got more than a couple of reasonably big applications open, it's really starting to get on my nerves!

As Madmikejt12 has said, the best you can get is a 1.3GHz (or even a 1.4GHz) processor to fit your socket 370 motherboard. However, these are getting really rare now and command quite a high price for the limited benefit that you would get. Your best bet would be to replace both of the RAM modules and buy a pair of 512MB PC133 SDRAM memory modules or a single 1GB PC133 SDRAM module (assuming that your current modules are the slower PC100 standard).

RAM will compensate for a slow processor quite well under Windows XP but it certainly won't turn your PC into something very quick. Just better. You will also still find that your hard disk is probably a bit of a performance bottleneck as it is significantly slower than a new hard disk.

For the most cost-effective upgrade in terms of speed per pound, you might want to consider completely replacing the base unit but perhaps retaining your existing monitor, keyboard and mouse. Not only does that give you a much more significant upgrade but you then get your base unit covered by a manufacturer's warranty so breakdown costs are less of a worry.
