I'm not sure I go along with the advice you were given.
Going to get a little detailed here, but the following info is necessary IMHO.

If you have any questions regarding the info, please state so in a Comment.

Supporting Data:
1) The Intel Celeron 566 processor you have installed now, has these specifications;

A) Operates at 566MegaHertz at full operating capability. (566MHz)

B) Uses a 66MHz Front Side Bus. (66MHz FSB)

C) Use the Socket 370 processor socket.

D) Operates on a DC voltage of 1.5 to 1.7 Volts

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_intel_celeron_microprocessors#.22Coppermine-128.22_.28180_nm.29

(Coppermine-128 Core. 180nm architecture.
Part Number RB80526RX566128.
sSpec number, SL46T, or SL3WT, or SL4NW, or SL5L5, or SL4PC.

The P/N and sSpec number, are on top of the processor's case. Seen after the Heatsink/Fan combo, and thermal paste is removed)

[Mega = approximately 1 Million.
Hertz stands for Cycles per Second.
Your processor when operating at maximum capability, has a frequency rate of 566 Million Cycles per Second]

The Front Side Bus requirement, and the Voltage requirement, are the two things that concern me.
Voltage more so.

To explain:
On the motherboard is a motherboard chipset.
Chip and Chipset, are slang terms for Integrated Circuit, or IC.

The motherboard chipset is the Northbridge chip, and the Southbridge chip.

The Northbridge chip is what detemines what Processors can be used, as well as Ram Memory, and high speed graphics.

(You only have 4 white PCI slots on that motherboard, and they are not used for high speed graphics. AGP, and PCI Express are high speed graphics. Just added info)

Intel Pentium III processors that use a Socket 370 processor socket, and operate at 1000MHz, use a 100Mhz FSB.

It is my belief that the Northbridge chipset on your motherboard, will support a processor with either a 66MHz FSB, or 100MHz FSB, so this is not an issue.

What concerns me most is that Intel Pentium processors using a Socket 370 processor socket, and having a maximum frequency rate of 1000Mhz, require 1.75 volts.

No if's, and's, or but's, about it.
Has to be 1.75 volts, and not up to 1.7 volts.

I would think that an Intel Pentium III, that uses a Socket 370 processor socket, and operates at 850MHz, is more suitable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_III_microprocessors#.22Coppermine.22_.28180_nm.29

(Coppermine Core. 180nm architecture.
sSpec numbers SL4MC, or SL43H, or SL49G, or SL4CC, or SL4Z2)

Like this example,

http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/item/13386

(Not advertising for this website. Will state I have purchased a motherboard from them, and it is like they stated)

To replace your Processor:

1) Work on a table. Computer UNPLUGGED from power. (Not shouting) Open the computer case, and touch the metal frame with your fingers.

Your body carries Static electricity. Static will fry out (Short Circuit) the delicate hardware components inside a computer.

Touching the metal frame of the computer case will relieve your body of Static.

IF, you get up, and walk away in the middle of working on your computer, when you come back, TOUCH the metal frame BEFORE you touch any computer components, or reach inside your computer.

Processors are the most highly susceptible computer hardware component, to Static shock.
You can also buy an ESD wrist strap, and connect the alligator clip to the metal frame of the computer case.
Cost is around $6.

Materials needed to include the replacement Processor.

A) Thermal Paste:
You can buy a small tube for a one time application at a lot of computer repair shops, for around $2 to $3.
Online, or at stores that sell computer parts, the price averages $6 to $8.

Imperative! You must have fresh thermal paste, and you must use it.

B) Isopropyl Alcohol. Also called Rubbing Alcohol.
Will be used to clean the old thermal paste off of the bottom of the Heatsink, and also to insure that the top of the replacement Processor, is clean.

91 percent alcohol is the best, but 70 percent will suffice. Advise do Not use 50-50. (50 percent alcohol, 50 percent water)

BE ADVISED!
Isopropyl Alcohol is Extremely Flammable!
Use in a well ventilated area, with no sparks, or flames present.

C) Q-tips. Used with the alcohol to clean. Q-tips are dipped in the alcohol. May take many of them, as old thermal paste is usually gooey.

D) An old plastic credit card, or similar device. Used to scrape the old thermal paste off, before the alcohol is used.

Will detail more in an additional comment.

    Great! We have a communication error!

    It was my understanding, that you were needing advice on what Processor to install, and how.

    As you can see now an Intel Pentium III that operates at 1000MHz, and fits in a Socket 370 socket, won't work.

    It's the voltage issue. Maybe the Northbridge chipset won't support the 100MHz FSB of the Pentium III 1000Mhz processor, also.
    I don't know, because I don't know what the Northbridge chipset is.

    HP/Compaq isn't giving out this info, I haven't found it on the internet, and I don't have a Compaq Presario 7594 in my shop.

    You could have also installed a Pentium III 1000MHz processor, that uses a 133MHz FSB.

    BIOS update to change the parameters of FSB, and voltage supported?
    Let me go look.

    Nope.

    Isn't one listed for using Windows 98. (Or XP)

You should replace the unit with a new one. Most new software today requires at least 1Ghz processor, recommended 2 Ghz.

Also, this is not a software update. You must open the box and replace the CPU on the mainboard with another compatible one that uses the socket 370 FC-PGA.

Unless this unit is absolutely necessary for business like running machinery, it should be replaced outright as you can get better hardware for just a few hundred dollars.

  • Anonymous Mar 18, 2010

    IMHO, this is why we replace hardware that is more than 5 years old unless it is absolutely necessary to perform some function. It's not worth the hassle to fix as you'll end up spending more time and money when you could have had something better with fewer hassles. I stand by my solution 100%.

I own a compaq presario 6450nx and I would like to upgrade it. like adding more ram and replace the cpu if its posible, what could be the suggestion?

This is info on your motherboard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=bph07843
Your system comes with Intel P4 2.53 GHz processor and 512MB ram. total ram could be 1GB, bt adding another 512MD stick. You have Socket 478 and processor would be up to you. The system comes with a 200w power supply so, in an upgrade, you should up the power supply. You have an AGP expansoin slot and, you could upgrade to a graphics card but again, power supply is only 200w. The system as it stands is not Windows 7 compatible. If you incraesed your ram and got a graphics card, you would get better performance.

How to upgrade RAM of Compaq SRS 110 NX

You can buy a RAM from your computer from any dealer. You have to check its model, suppose DDR 2 or DDR 3 as same as your previous installed ram. You have to also check that which processor's speed it supports. e.g.- 2.9 Ghz, 3.0 Ghz etc. You can also simply give your CPU to any dealer, then they upgrade your RAM.

UpGrade

you could only upgrade the processor and RAM in this condition i.e.

you can only change your an upgraded p-III processor like 1.0 GHz, 1.1 GHz or 1.3GHz and
upgrade the RAM by changing to 256 in each slot.

that is all what u can do with ur pc

No Sound....

The drivers on the HP site are for Windows 98, Me. Try the drivers off the ESS site. Find the appropriate Allegro driver for Windows XP (or try each of them). Good Luck.
