Comment: hi, Im interested in upgrading the current p3 chip I have to a better one.
The current processor that I have is a p3 at 900mhz. I was looking at website and they are selling a p3 chip at 1200mhz, and a celeron chip at 1200mhz; both for $12. Will either of these chips be compatiable w/ the computer I have right now. Im not interested in changing the mother board as im am sorta lazy and cant afford it.

Reply: "Theres a game that i want to play, and it says that the minimal requirment is 1.0ghz" Did you try it?? You didn't list the make/model of your board like I asked...without it, no one can tell you which CPU will work.

Reply: Just forget about using a P3 for games. Its time to move on and put your hand in your pocket. What is the game in question? Quad Xeon/4GB/8800GT
