Dimension 4600 CPU upgrade
I'm looking to upgrade the cpu on my father in laws dimension 4600 from a 2.4 GHz 533 FSB to a little faster processor. Can I use a 533 FSB or an 800 FSB? Wil the mainboard automatically adjust for either FSB? Can I use a 512k or 1Mb L2 cache? The specifications say one may use either of these configurations. However, I want to be certain about this before purchasing a processor to upgrade. Thanks for looking.

You are welcome.
As stated in my first post, the problem is the motherboard.

Bev, along the lines of this question, I wanted to know if I have the "newer" 4600 that supports the 3400 chip.
Thanks, Mike

A far as I know, there's only one way of finding out, is install a P4 3.4GHz processor and if it downclocks to 3.0GHz, then it's the early version of the motherboard.

The D-4600 support's Socket 478, P4 400/533/800 MHz FSB processors.
All the 4600 models will take a socket 478 CPU at 800 MHz, up to 3.0GHz and the later models 4600 will take the 3.2GHz and 3.4GHz processors, this does not offer much of a boost over the 3.0GHz.
The 4600 does automatically adjusts for the FSB and can use either a 512k [Northwood], 1mb [Prescott] L2 cache.
