some of the applications i run (power point, word, windows media player ver. 9) crashes or freezes (note: the computer is using WinXp Pro and Office Xp Pro). it seems that the application is corrupt. I found out that the P-III 450Mhz (100Mhz front side-bus) computer is running in Zida BX98 motherboard that supports P-II (up to 550Mhz)and Celeron (upto 366Mhz). This is one of the motherboards feature: ‘Optimized for the highestperformance Intel PENTIUM II processors with 100Mhz front-side bus.’Also the computer is using a 128Mb P-66Mhz RAM or memory. This means that the P-III processor (100Mhz front-side bus), P-II motherboard (100Mhz memory bus) and RAM (P-66Mhz) are in conflict with each other. Question #1) Do you think that this conflict resulted in the application’s crashing or freezing? Question #2) can P-III 450Mhz run in P-II motherboard (Zida BX98 to be specific)without having a problem? Question #3) Does P-II motherboards supports P-III processors? Question #4)can the conflict that i mentioned damage the CPU, resulting in the application’s crashing or freezing? Please do help me.
