(PC) Question
I have a old Dell Dimension XPS T600 computer. I'd like to upgrade the CPU on this thing to a 1.2Ghz PIII from the 600MHz PIII. I'm I able to just pop the old CPU out and put the new one in? If so, can someone give me some instructions on how to do so.
P.S I've worked inside of a computer before, mostly installing CD-ROM drives, memory, and video cards, but never Processors.
Thanks!

They make models for 100Mhz and 133MHz system buses, and you should probably get the one that matches your machines bus speed, which I think is 100Mhz. I believe you could use one meant for a 133Mhz system bus, but then the CPU would be underclocked because the multiplier on the CPU is locked, 10.5 x 133 for the 133Mhz bus, and 14 x 100 for the 100Mhz boards.
That might be a little confusing, but I think it gets the point across.
