Uppgrade Celeron processor

by firefox5000 . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

Hi

I have a old pc but I want to add a new processor to it. Its a Compaq 5bw110.
i found out that it uses a celeron processor 566 Mhz of coppermine type i believe it is.

Web link below for specification.
(http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00032395&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=se&lang=en&product=93657)

It uses a bus speed at 66 MHz and socket 370. According to the web link the range of compaq 5BW system bus speed is between 66-133 MHz. The motherboard does allow higher bus speed?
Is it possible to change this bus speed to 100 MHz so that I can use a celeron processor at 1000 Mhz of coppermine type. Can it be done by entering the Bios?

Thanks in advance
