Please help newbie do P3 upgrade for MEB-VM
Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2008 1:07 pm
Here's a short question from a newbie that is relatively quick to pick up on things. Please take a look at it and leave me a note if you can.
Presently running this system:
HP Pavilion 4550Z with
MEB-VM motherboard (sometimes referred to as an Asus or sometimes Falcon)
HP Part Number: 5184-2705
Celeron (Mendocino) 466MHz 128k Cache
440/ZX rev. 03 chipset
Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.0.D
Rev. 1.10 6/25/99
Want to upgrade to P3. I already have a particular P3:
Pentium III (Coppermine) 1000MHz (will fit the PGA370 socket on the board)
256k Cache, SL4C8
You may search for the User Manual for the Asus MEB-VM. You may find it here:

(This isn't it. This mobo is has the 440/BX chipset. My board has the 440/ZX.)
Can I just put the processor in the board and fire it up, or will that potentially fry something?
If I can't upgrade to the above P3, I'm wondering what is the fastest P3 I can put in it?
I've done just as much homework on this as I can dig up being a newbie and all. I'm wondering if someone out there with a little more experience can help out. Please help.
