hi people.i will like to know whether it is possible to change the tp 570 pentium 2 to a pentium 3 and how to do so.thanks.pls email me .

the 570 chip is part of the mainboard, not a sub board as in later machines, options available , get yourself a 570E mainboard of ebay ( seen em for £25 bin) the 570E is a p3 500 that wil fit directly in the 570, I am about to do exactly the same thing with mine .

Although most 570's have 13" screens, some have 12" and the ones with 12" screens probably won't be able to work with the 570E motherboards because of the video difference.

hi thanks to all have reply.i am currently outsourcing the parts that you recommended. the web is www.usedpchub.com
