My dad has an old PC. He bought it in like 2000 and it was kinda old even then. It has 384MB PC100 RAM, a 600MHz Slot 1 P3 Coppermine. The mobo is interesting though. It has an Xcel 2000 chipset (I've never heard of it either) but it has two different sockets. One is the Slot 1 that is obviously in use and the other one is 370 pin socket. I know I can get another P3 in the 900MHz to 1GHz range to slap in there, but I want to know, will this work as a dual processor system?
I know this is kinda ancient technology, but if I can get it to work as a dual processing system, it would really help. That's what this PC really needs, some more processing power. My dad doesn't game or anything, but even just using FireFox is slow.
Already using XP Pro. And the 384MB RAM is sufficient, even though it is only PC100.
Thanks.
