Re: OT: dual processor question
I've got three old IBM PS/2 #70s. There looks to be an extra socket for
a processor on the motherboard. I don't know if it would really help to
speed up the system or not as they only have 4 MB of RAM, or even if it
would work. I was thinking about trying to add a processor to one of
the computers but how do you get the thing off? This may be an
incredibly stupid question but when I pull on the processor I'm afraid
I'm going to break the motherboard.
Thanks,
kent
