Hardware / upgrading processor

« on: June 04, 2003, 05:33:29 PM »

Well i want to upgrade my current processor. Its an Intel p3 500 mghz chip. I was wondering what do i need exactly? obviously a new processor, but are there any other accessories that i have to get as well? I want to get something like a 1.5ghz processor. something around that. I think i am going to go with Intel, i have had good luck with them. what kind of prices am I looking at? The computer is a Dell Dimension XPS T500 if that makes a difference. would i need to get one specifically for that computer or are they universal?  Also, would it be wise to just buy a whole new motherboard or just a new processor?
