Putting in new cpu (how to)

i have a cpu i want to take out of one of my comps and put it into another, im new at this i dont know where or how to take it out and insert it. the taking out my 1.7 mghz celron and putting in my 1.3 amd because i heared amd is better at loading up and games etc. if anyone can help be greatly appreciated

thanks

 

Eazy-, tell us something.....

1) what are the motherboard makes and models?
2) need to research whether the "newly targetted" mobo can accept the processor speed/socket type, etc.

Let's start out with gathering that info first. Then, we can tell you how to proceed with pulling the bad boy out of the ZIF Socket on the mobo.

Thanks!!

 

ok its a p4s8x asus i have a 1.7 celeron in it now. i want to put a amd 1.3 even though its lower i heared its better. any help would be good. also if i were to buy one whats better amd or intel for gaming and speed


thanks

 

As ddp said you can't do it. An AMD chip will not fit in an Intel motherboard and vise versa. You can either buy an AMD motherboard, or buy a real P4 chip, not Celeron depending on if you want to change motherboard or not. A regular P4 chip will fit in the same socket as a Celeron.

As to which is better, it's a matter of choice. AMD is slightly better for games, Intel is better for video encoding and general purpose. Neither is really leaps and bounds ahead of the other.

 

so your saying an AMD will not fit into a p4s8x asus motherboard only pentiums, any kind of pentiums such as pentium 4 etc.

 

so what do i do? what kind of processor will fit into a p4s8x asus motherboard do u know?

 

ok well just out of curiostity, if i were to build my own comp ftrom scratch whats would be good for gaming and overall fast comp. amd processor kingston ram im guessing and most of all whats a good motherboard to buy?
