When I tried it. It didn't work. Now I was researching the product and I found this.
how-build-upgrade-pc/17380-upgrading-compaq.h t m l
It comes from this site after "help/" in the URL. I had to sorten the link because it won't let me put a link in here if I had below 5 posts
I'm thinking if the motherboard can hold max numbers.
Is the 400 and the 800 clockrates/bus rates?
Can I go up to 2Ghz/1M/400 only? Max?
I need a short info.
I think I just waste $96 for nothing.
