I've got one of those premanufactured computers from Packard Hell (bought in Holland, if that makes any difference). It has a MSI-6309 (Saturn) motherboard. Currently it fits a Pentium III 800 processor, but I wanna upgrade to a Pentium III 1,2 GHz. According to the manual the Motherboard can fit a processor with speeds of 1 GHZ or higher, guess the higher speeds didn't exist when the mobo was manufactured. Now is the issue that the computer is a Packard Hell make, could it be that PH (or PB) has altered the motherboard that it can only fit a Pentium III 800? I know they altered the BIOS, because the PB logo keeps popping up at every system start. In the BIOS I can't find settings for altering the bus speed (only the DRAM frequency, which is currently set to 133 MHz, or is that the same a bus speed?) or multiplier settings.
Can anyone advice me, 'cause I wanna replace my videocard with a Geforce 3/4 and I'm afraid that my system can't keep up with the Geforce 3/4.
