P2 Or P3

[tiblu]

hey guys my friend owns a 433 mhz pc is it a p2 or p3, he was having 10 GB HDD but it crash down, now he wants to install a new one will it support 40 gb or should i go with 20 bg bcoz i can get 10 gb.

 

[ymhatre]

which mobo he is having....
it solely depends on mobo u have greater HDD not proci....
I think it wuld be p3......

AFAIK P2's fastest processor was 350mhz,check the socket number,if it is socket 7 then its a p2,if it is written socket 378 then is a p3.

 

[anispace]

i think fastest P2 was 450MHz. also P2`s had slot loading interface.

why dont u open the cabinet and see it urself or u can use a system info tool.

My freind has heat sink fan just like our p4 or amd. It doesn't hav slot loading cpu

 

[samrulez]

it must be a p3.coz I had a p2 and that did not have a heat sink only one 20 mm fan.but still is it socket 7 ??

 

[phatratt]

^^^i don't think there was any P3 processor that sat on a socket 7.

plz frame the question in a proper way... i m unable to understand what u mean to say ....

PII was never Socket 7...

Socket 7 was used till Pentium MMX 266 Mhz

Then came Pentium II with Slot 1

the standing type......

If u say u have Heatsink and then chances r that u might have AMD as

pentium 1 never crossed 300 mark and was socket 7 with heatsink and FAN
pentium II was a Slot Peocessor FAN and Heatsink on SIDE instead of being on Top.... you can see Pentium II printed on IT

Initally Pentium III was also launched as Slot 1 Processor but till 533 Mhz

then arrived new Pentiums III Slot / Tray processors just like Socket 7 but used Socket 378 with FAN and Heatsing on Top


In ur case none of the above Fits so it might be AMD K6-2 433 Mhz

use CPU-Z to check what is make and model of ur CPU
