Cheap upgrade to Pentium 4 machine, performance increased 6x
I have an older PC with a i945 chipset and a Pentium-4 3.00 Ghz CPU, so I was asking myself - can I upgrade it somehow?
At first I didnt give it much chance, but then I found out
that the MB is compatible with Core2 processors.
So, logically, I bought the fastest one possible.
When the package arrived, I simply changed the CPU. There was no need for extra setting in BIOS or installing the drivers in Windows XP. And the result is really fantastic! The performance boost is 600% (yes, six times faster). I didnt even imagine that I could upgrade so cheaply. Now the machine is able to run the latest 3D software like Archicad or Vray.
I am so excited that I am going to do the same upgrade to other older machines.
If you would like to do the same, you should know one important thing: carefully check if the CPU is compatible with your MB. For example ASUS has a comfortable MB database with CPU-compatibility lists. But other manufacturers I dont know. In the worst case, get the chipset number (f.i. Intel i945) and look at wikipedia for chipset-CPU compatibility. Then check your motherboard for CPU-socket type and PCB support. This should be written in the MB manual. Then look for the fastest compatible CPU and buy it!
