Pentium II
That would require purchasing a new motherboard, processor, and power supply.
In some cases, yes. If the BIOS of the motherboard has the proper microcode updates to control the processor, and the FSB (front side bus) is at a high enough rate, you can install a Pentium III processor on the older board.
Yes. The GA-6BXC can support any Slot 1 Intel Pentium II or Pentium III processor. For the faster Pentium IIIs, you will need to purchase a "slotket" to convert a Socket 370 processor to the Slot 1 interface.
On the Pentium II, the L2 cache is integrated into the processor packaging, rather than on the motherboard. This allows the L2 to be accessed much faster, and improving overall performance.
Pentium II
Slot 1.
if the m'bord has 1 slot it doesn't mean that it is designed only for single processor systems. according to the developing technology single slot can be used for multiprocessor system eg core 2
back-side bus
The Dell Precision 410 workstation was equipped with either a Pentium II or a Pentium III processor, at a speed between 350 and 700 MHz.
Yes, the Pentium III processor at 600MHz is faster than the Pentium II processor at the same clock speed due to architectural improvements that enhance performance. The Pentium III has additional features like SSE instructions and larger cache sizes, which contribute to its faster performance compared to the Pentium II.
This would all depend on your actual motherboard. Some boards do take a Pentium 3 chip. If you know the model of your board, then check the manufacturers website, for details of the maximum mhz allowed for it. If you don't know the model number, then go to Google, and download a program called belarc advisor. Once installed, this will give you the in's and out#s of your PC. All hardware, and software installed. If you find the board does take a Pentium 3 CPU, then you will need to purchase a 'slotty'. Basically this is a piece of hardware, that turns the black CPU, into a normal CPU. It slots inside the same place as the original CPU. With the added advantage of a heatsink and fan, which can be plugged onto the board. Hope this helps be safe
