can i replace a pentium 2 and with a pentium 3 processer?

Answer 1

Yes and NO, it would depend on what your system is and what it can run.........Here is a history on the Pentium that may or may not help in understanding............there is more you can read at the link below............

A family of 32-bit CPU chips from Intel. The term may refer to the chip or to a PC that uses it. Pentium chips and Pentium PCs are the most widely used in the world for general-purpose computing. The current series is made up of Pentium 4 models and Celerons along with the Core Duo and Core Solo models. Intel is expected to introduce its Core microarchitecture for all its chips in 2006 that will supersede the Pentium line.

The first Pentium chip was introduced in 1993 as the successor to the 486; thus the Pentium began as the fifth generation of the Intel x86 architecture (see x86). Numerous variations of the Pentium have been introduced with increased performance. Each new line executes more instructions in the same clock cycle as the previous, and clock speeds increase constantly. The Pentium uses a 64-bit internal bus compared to 32-bits in its 486 predecessor. Note that Intel's next-generation Itanium chip departs from the Pentium architecture (see Itanium). Following is a brief summary of all Pentium families.


Core Line - Introduced 2006

Based on Intel's Core microarchitecture, which is similar to the low-power Pentium M chips with many enhancements. The Core family is designed to replace the Pentium brand.

In early 2006, Intel introduced 32-bit Core Duo and Core Solo CPUs for its mobile Celeron line and used the same 32-bit architecture in its Xeon LV and Xeon ULV chips for the server market. The Core Duo and Core Solo are forerunners of the more advanced 64-bit Core introduced later in the year. See Core Duo.


Pentium 4 Dual Cores - Introduced in 2005

The Pentium D and Pentium Processor Extreme Edition were the first dual-core Pentium chips from Intel. Although both chips include Intel's 64-bit EM64T technology, the Pentium D does not include Hyper-Threading, but the Extreme Edition does. See Pentium Processor Extreme Edition.


Pentium 4 - Introduced in 2000 (1.4-3.4GHz)

Latest Pentium architecture started out with a 400MHz system bus and 256KB L2 cache (later increased to 800MHz and 2MB). The first models contained 42 million transistors, used the 0.18 micron process and came in 423-pin and 478-pin PGA packages. Intel's first Pentium 4 chipset was the 850 and supported only Rambus memory (RDRAM), but subsequent chipsets switched to DDR SDRAM. See NetBurst.


Celeron - Introduced in 1998 (266MHz-2.8GHz)

Less expensive Pentium chips due to smaller L2 caches. First Celerons had no L2 cache, but 128KB on-die cache was added in 1999. Celerons started out with 66 and 100MHz system buses that migrated to 400MHz.


Pentium III - 1999-2001 (500MHz-1.13GHz)

The Pentium III added 70 additional instructions to the Pentium II. The Pentium III used a 100 or 133MHz system bus and either a 512KB L2 cache or a 256KB L2 Advanced Transfer Cache. Depending on the model, it contained from 9.5 to 28 million transistors, used the 0.25 or 0.18 micron process and came in SECC and SECC2 packages. Mobile units came in BGA and micro-PGA (µPGA) packages.


Pentium III Xeon - 1999-2001 (500MHz-933MHz)

Typically used in 2-way to 8-way servers, Xeon specs were like Pentium III with L2 cache up to 2MB. The Xeon used the SECC2 and SC330 chip packages.


Pentium II - 1997-1999 (233MHz-450MHz)

Added MMX multimedia instructions to Pentium Pro and introduced the Single Edge Connector Cartridge (SECC) for Slot 1. The Pentium II used a 66 or 100MHz system bus. Desktop models had 7.5 million transistors, 512KB L2 cache and were housed in SECC packages. Mobile models had 27.4 million transistors, 256KB L2 cache and were housed in either BGA or Mobile Mini-Cartridge (MMC) packages.


Pentium II Xeon - 1998-1999 (400MHz-450MHz)

Typically used in high-end and 2-way and 4-way servers, Xeon specs were like Pentium II with L2 cache from 512KB to 2MB and 100MHz system bus.


Pentium Pro - 1995-1997 (150MHz-200MHz)

Typically used in high-end desktops and servers, the Pentium Pro increased memory from 4GB to 64GB. The Pentium Pro had L2 cache from 512KB to 1MB, used a 60 or 66MHz system bus, contained from 5.5 to 62 million transistors. It was made with 0.35 process and housed in a dual cavity PGA package. When introduced, it was touted as being superior to the Pentium for 32-bit applications.


Pentium MMX - 1997-1999 (233MHz-300MHz)

Added MMX multimedia instructions to Pentium CPU and increased transistors to 4.5 million. Desktop units used PGA package and 0.35 process while mobile units used TCP and 0.25 process.


Pentium - 1993-1996 (60MHz-200MHz)

First Pentium CPU models. The Pentium had an L2 cache from 256KB to 1MB, used a 50, 60 or 66MHz system bus and contained from 3.1 to 3.3 million transistors built on 0.6 to 0.35 process. Chips were housed in PGA packages.

Answer 2

The CPU sockets are diverse, it is going to not greater wholesome. Your maximum suitable guess with out paying for a sparkling gadget may be to purchase a motherboard that has the wonderful socket for the Celeron D (LGA 775), yet you will could purchase AT minimum new RAM by way of fact the motherboard would require speedier velocity reminiscence, maximum in all risk computing device 2700 a minimum of. in case you come to a decision to try this, you will could make particular you get an comparable motherboard to your case you would be using too. and make particular the capability grant is physically powerful adequate to assist the processor. All in all your finding at minimum $a hundred ninety to flow that direction, and a sparkling capability grant if it needs it $50-$ninety. often times its in simple terms greater suitable to sell the processor and guts on ebay and then purchase a sparkling computing device.

Answer 3

pentium 2. ur better off . to replace da pc

Answer 4

It is possible, not likely as usually the sockets aren't compatible. Not much point anyway, both are so outdated you will not even be able to notice any difference.

Answer 5

Yes just make sure the other parts of your computer can handle a faster processor

Answer 6

well u can.. but u gotta find a one.. cuz these days they r not findable.. and if u find it.. u gotta test it.. cuz maybe it will not be compitable with ur motherboard
