Upgrading an old pII Dell system

Bogger77 · 2004-02-28 11:21:00

Hi Guys, I've an old Dell Dimension PII 350MHz system, I want to give to the parents to surf a bit and play a few games (solitare etc), but I'd love to upgrade the processor. Any one know how fast of a chip I can fit in this without changing the MB, and any suggestions on where to get the chips? Tks B

Upgrade the Processor is not gona make much of a difference, if @ all.

I'd say add more RAM and the MAX processor you would be able to get is about the 500Mhz range so not much of an increase.....

Thanks joePC
