Does the Pentium 4 3.4Ghz chip will make my base score to at least 5.1?
Computer technician here……First of all, congratulations! You have mentioned that you want to purchase a Pentium 4 3.4 GHZ Processor chip and based on the specs you have given, that it currently uses a Pentium 4 1.8 GHZ processor chip. The mainboard you currently have there will be able to take a Pentium 4 3.4 GHZ Processor chip. That is it’s maximum. I have checked the on-line specs here, http://www.asrock.com/mb/cpu.asp?Model=P… You can use the 3.4 GHZ Processor chip for it. As far as the base score is concerned, it might get pretty close to it. To give you a little detail of my personal computer, I have a Pentium 4 3.2 GHZ processor chip and it’s Subscore is 4.3 under “Calculations per seconds.” Both of our mainboards are a Socket 478. If you went with a different mainboard that has a socket 775, chances are that the subscores will be higher than what you currently have and even with the 3.4 GHZ proce
