Hi:
My father has a Dell computer given to him, It has a pentium 3, 450MHz.
He purchased some games which take a minimum cpu of 800MHz.
I would like to upgrade what he has but the dell website won't give me any information on the cpu or how high of a MHz cpu I can install. When I went to their tech support faq, It just says that it is not recommended to upgrade the mb or cpu. Searching the web for answers hasn't helped. I have found a pentium 3 1.0gHz cpu but don't know if it is compatable.
Before someone says why don't he just buy another computer, he's 78 yrs old and living on ss, And if I were to build him one he would not accept it, stuborn and self reliant, I'll be lucky if he lets me pay for the upgrade.
The computer is
A Dell Dimension XPS T450mhz Pentium 3
with 512k cashe
Thanks for any help
