CPU's...upgrading from PII 333?............ answer = NO you will need to swap your motherboard. from the PII forum newsgroups.intel.com MarkAnthony Tue, 03 Mar 1998 13:57:21 -0800 Subject Concern about upgrading from a 333Mhz Intel Pentium II... Organization U. S. INS Here is my concern: I buy a Dell 333 MHz Pentium II Intel processor-based computer. Two months later a 400 MHz Intel something or the other comes out. At this point in time, what assurance do I have that I can reasonably assume that I will be able to upgade to a higher chip without replacing my entire motherboard? Basically, what does Intel have in the works for its future family of Microprocessors and what impact will this have on upgrading my Dell 333 MHz PC? I am pending the purchase of a 333MHz Dell computer - but will not make a buying decision until I obtain some guidance on the above concern. Mark And Intel's response newsgroups.intel.com Intel is not going to produce or market a processor as an upgrade for existing Pentium(R) II processor based systems.
