moon Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I'm considering flashing my old Abit BE6 which would allow it to run a Pentium III 850 MHz. Where could I buy an unused P3 850 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 moon - This is not an 850 - but close ?http://www.autdirect.co.uk/acatalog/Look under : Processors : Intel processors : P2, P3 Slot 1 - for their range.this is the fastest there :-Intel P3 733 MHz Slot 1 133 MHz Secc2 256K CacheSecc 2133 MHzPrice: £55.31 £64.99 Including VAT at 17.5% - but this is very pricey !You do so see S/H P3s at Fairs - but the fast uns aint cheep ! You can get up to a P2 400 for less than £6 - but above 400mhz the prices then seem to rocket (relatively)I do know someone who has a 3 year old Slot 1 733 (with no faults) and is just talking about me doing them an an upgrade ? How much were you thinking of paying for your new P3 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted January 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Ta for the thought, boris, but it's got a 650 in it now. The only worthwhile upgrade would be an 850 or I might as well chop the BE6 and do the job properly. Thanks anyway, mate. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon Posted January 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Full up, 756Mb. Strangely enough, I've just switched the old and groaning 250watt PSU for a Qtec 450watt and it seems to be running better. I'll leave it at that . :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
