hi, i was just wondering if i would be able to upgrade my processor in my dell dimension 4100. It now has an 863 MHz, Pentium 3 processor, and i'm thinking about upgrading to a better processor. would this be possible, or should i just buy a new PC.

thanks,

you can only upgrade to another processor that has the same pin configuration.

the P3 uses a socket 370.

danm, i did a google search and the fastest processor i found was a 1.26GHZ one. i guess i'll buy a new computer soon.

thanks,

getting a new computer is definitely a better idea. but an advice though, do some research and find one that suits your need. or if you're up to it, buld your own since it's usually better that way.

and as you probably know, if you need advice this forum is always more than helpful when it comes to building PCs or choosing PCs.
