Going through a few PCs as I move them around. Most are either too old or not the right MB to support Coppermines. I found one that looks like it may be possible. My reference was this thread:
Intel-built 486/Pentium/PPro/PII motherboard guide
According to this, the MB I am picturing is a BX-3 not a BX-2 because it has 1 ISA not two. The reference thread posts no numbers to check revisions, so it's unclear if I can upgrade the CPU to a coppermine
the system is a gateway essential 400 TB3. I think it's the original mb/cpu combo.
im a collection builder, and a working coppermine Slot1 machine would fill a gap in systems that I'm missing. Is this upgradeable?
