"Albatron PX865PE Pro" Can it hold a 3.8 GHz CPU?

no, the P4 3.8 GHz need a socket 775 mobo, and the albatron mobo has a socket 478\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813170153

Yes you can do that IF this mainboard do support LGA CPUs\nMost of LGA Mainboards do support all LGA CPUs\n\nXLMan

you technically couldn't make them the same speed, but unless you are saying like a Intel P4 2.8ghz a Celeron at 2.8 and an AMD Athlon at 2.8, well, the Athlon will beat everything from the Intel 2.8s to about 3.77s to even 4ghz for Intel due to the difference inthe AMD cpu architecture.

on newer mainboards no settings have to be changed. assume you want to upgrade from a Pentium 4 630 (3GHz) to a Pentium 4 660 (3.6GHz), the mainboard recognize the new CPU automatically due to the CPUID (this is an identfication code within the CPU). The multiplier of the clock frequency will then automatically be set from 15 to 18 (x 200MHz).

Although Intel tells you that it's all about the GHz, that's crap.  The TRUE methods of determining how quickly a system will run is by the Front Side Bus (FSB) and RAM Bus speed.\n\nYou can have a system with a 3.8GHz processor, but if the FSB is only 400MHz, then it's only going to talk to the rest of your system at 400MHz.  The fastest commercially available FSB right now is 1066MHz.  Same thing applies to your RAM Bus.  If your RAM Bus only runs at 400MHz, then that's all you are ever going to get out of it.  Sorry.\n\nWhen you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.\n\nMicrosoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January.  It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released.  The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).\n\nAnyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer.  You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926.  That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.\n\nI have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding.  Those guys blow my mind.\n\nGood luck!

honestly, junk it \n\nmuch cheaper than searching 4 old processors not knowing if they work at all\nget a new p4 nope, get a pentium dual core ... just say yes ... lottsa ideas then

get a bigger one like a 3000 srx 74850585855948404

It runs at 3.06 GHz , it could run two threads of execution\ninstructions from the same process

I believe not. It might be able to support the P4 and the board itsef, but will not be able to support the extra circuitry & devices such as the fan, memory, HDD, DVD drive etc. You will need atleast a 200W power supply to handle the load, although a 230/250W SMPS is more like it.

it says right there\n\nat that website link :)\n\nsupports up to 3.8GHz\n\nthat is all the highest cpu can up atm any more can burn up the chip wires\n:)\n\nthe best way to know is look for the cpu compatiby specs, it's usally around it and tells you what your current mobo will support. because they already tested it\n\nif you are replacing it, i suggest u move up to 64bit i would recommend it and buy a new mobo.\nor dual cores it's better\n\n than buying a LGA775 cpu. you save more money and i think it's a wise choose. because the rate of  a 3.4 is almost the same as a 64bit or  core duo.\n\nonce vista comes out fully supports it, OMG it willl be teh best of teh best.

Okay...  The difference between a 3.0 and a 2.8 is negligible.  However, if the 3.0 were tapped with HT, or Hyperthreading, the difference would be enormous.  Hyperthreading virtually turns one processor into two.  It will significantly increase the PC performance when it comes to multi-tasking.  Look for it.\nFSB... or Front Side Bus...  Imagine a funnel.  The CPU speed, like 3 GHz, would be the top of the funnel.  The FSB would be the bottom.  No matter how big the top is, the bottom can only allow so much out at one time.  There are FSB's up to 2000 now.\nMemory... the speed is what you're looking at.  This means that the memory clock is set at 533 MHz/sec.  The higher the speed, obviously, the faster information can be retrieved from memory.  The DIMMs are the number of slots availible.  If you have 2 DIMMs, then you have 2 slots for memory.  A maximum of 2 GHz of memory is availible.  At 4 DIMMs, your maximum is 4 GHz.  The more memory, the faster you can get programs to load, or the less lag you'd see in high res games.\nHard Drive...  As a hard drive reads its disks, it writes information to the cache.  The larger the cache, the more information you can access before the HDD has to read more.  So, the higher the Cache, the better.  As far as RPMs, this is the speed at which the disks spin, and logically, the higher the RPM, the faster the HDD can access new information.\nYour options are all dependant on your budget.  You will get great performance with the 2.8, with 512 Megs of memory, with a 7200 RPM hdd with an 8MB cache.  But, the more you can afford to put in it, the longer it will take before you are way behind tomorrow's technologies.\nIf you have further questions, feel free to email me at this yahoo screen name.  I build and repair PCs for a living.

if your talking about the bus speed of the cpu then its all based on whats its designed for. there is no way to upgrade the bus speed of the cpu. but if you are talking about the speed of the cpu then dont dump a lot of money on upgrading a computer just go ahead and buy a new one

first check your motherboard if it's able to take a 3.0GHz CPU. Further, check which socket is on the mobo. There are 2 different sockets - one is a socket 478 (for the P4 family 5x0) and a socket 775 (for the P4 family 6x0).\nI suppose you have a mobo with a 478 socket (due to the 2.40GHz CPU).

if it is your budget go for it. nothing wrong with more power. make sure you build it with a 64 bit CPU.

Should not be a problem, but shop carefully. The 5500 was a good card at it's release but this hardware is moving so fast these days, the changes and releases of the newest better thing is ridiculous. If you are talking a PCIE card or an AGP card, those are apples & oranges. One won't fit the other. I suggest you do some comparison shopping.\n\nAlso, your Celeron should be okay if it has the speed needed, the graphics card will make the difference. Check the link I provided.

A PC333 (PC2700) DDR RAM can be used in systems up to a FSB 666MHz.\nFor the P4V533-MX mainboard you need PC266 (PC2100) DDR RAM according\nhttp://store.yahoo.com/memx/asp4mome58.html

How comes you're using XP Pro on a "P3 class" Celeron with only 64MB Ram. This is a mismatch that couldn't be greater. To run XP Pro you need at least 256MB and even this is low. I suppose you previously had W98 or W98SE, go back to that OS to increase the speed without upgrading the hardware.\n\nBut if you want to stay with the XP Pro, you have to upgrade the memory to the maximum (512MB ?), this is not that expensive. But be careful, not even Crucial has the Ram type of the HP Pavilion 7700 in it's database, so it seems your system may require proprietary or non-standard Ram.
