upgrading questions


Recommended Posts

hey

i am sorry if someone els has posted this before but i have a couple of questions

I have a pIII 866, 256sdram, dell computer... i think it is a genuine intel motherboard... (?)

i would like to upgrade the processor so i would need to get a new motherboard as well ...

I am thinking of intel p4 <2.0ghz or amd equiv...

my questions are

1. do i just have to get the processor and motherboard, and new ddr ram? or do i need to upgrade anything else?

2. what about power supply ? i see people always talking about power supply issues here and i would like to know why

(sorry i am new at upgrading hardware, but i have installed basics such as cd-roms, hard-drives and etc... way back when i had windows 3.1)

thanks!
