SPECIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDING UP A PENTIUM 2

If you are referring to upgrading those processors, then you need to also upgrade the motherboard to accommodate the newer CPU. And often the memory will be different also.

why would you wanna build a single core p4?

check out the used tech sale at your local university. i can usually find a decent complete dual core system (including monitor mouse & kb) for less than 5) $50.

if you have specific requirements you may wanna list those.
theres also cheaper options like raspberry pi or pine64

Pentium II is very very very old.

A good motherboard with an AGP 8X slot, if you can find one. The board should be ATX rather than micro atx, the full size boards are usually better running. It should take 4gb of ddr, hopefully pc3200.
Add a Northwood CPU, a fast one. A good socket 478 cooler.
DDR3200, this is fairly cheap on Ebay new. A good AGP card, maybe a geforce 3 or 4. A large IDE hard disk. ribbon cables. Maybe a floppy drive. DVD RW DRIVE. P4 PSU....350 WATSS AT LEAST.


LATER P4 478 CHIPS HAD 1MB CACHE RATHER THAN THE NORTHWOOD'S 512K CACHE BUT THEY RAN HOT AND NEEDED VERY GOOD COOLING GENERALLY, THEY ARE BEST AVOIDED IN MY OPINION.

Each is a different CPU socket set. Meaning a different motherboard, meaning a different computer for each.

You are worrying about nothing.

Intel Pentium Dual Core and Intel Celeron Dual Core are both Intel Core Dual processors.

The performance rate is mesured compared to a single core processor so your 2.2GHz dual core will do the same amount of work as a 4.95GHz single core.

Minimum System Requirements are as follows: DirectX : 9.0c Hard Drive Space : 8 GB Free Operating System : Windows XP/Vista Processor : Pentium 4 @ 3 GHz RAM : 1 GB (2 GB for Vista) Yes, it should run the game without problems if the rest of your pc specifications meet or exceed requirements.

MSI has two boards P4M900M3-F, P4M900M3-L.

Both of this will support your CPU
