I have an older CPU I am turning into a download server mainly at the moment, and I want to upgrade it's processor from another older CPU I have laying here for parts.
The download one currently runs an athlon @ 1.47GHz, but I want to throw in an HP model's athlon xp @ 1.67GHz. So just up it a little bit in MHz by 200 or so roughly, just for the extra edge, may as well because it's not being used anyhow.
Now can I direct swap these mobo to mobo? I'm pretty sure the mobo's will support eachother's athlon chips, just want to know can it be direct swapped, or do I have to clear the mobo memory or something before doing it and lose all my data and what not.
Thanks anyone for advice or info!
