PIII on a 560Z?

#1 Post by 560zzz » Sun Apr 15, 2007 7:17 pm

I have a Pentium II 560 Z TP. Think the model # is 2640-90U (from memory). Got 96 mb ram and I am running XP and Office 2003 on it.

It's a little slow but it runs fine for my needs.

A neighbor threw his Pentium III desktop in the trash. So I grabbed it (I need a power supply for the new desktop I'm building). Seems the motherboard is messed up since it just beeps on power-on and the other video card I put in didn't change it.

I'm wondering if I can extract the Pentium III chip off the card that it sits on inside this machine and swap it for the P II in my Thinkpad. It's probably only a 500 MHz chip but still that would be a significant boost (233 in there now).

Or am I just dreaming...

What's the problem you want an aerial view of my house? I'm not a spammer.

Don't fight with him just update your location with the real location.

And looking at the page 61 of the HMM for you 560Z it says the machine has a mini cpu board that doesn't look like any desktop processor.[/url]
