Sampson 0 Posted July 16, 2004 My guess is that your Revision number is your PCB number. Clearly, one of the bios updates will support a PIII. But, I am not sure that physically you can just slap a PIII into the slot of that BX box. If you want to do something like that you will have buy a powered upgrade adapter. Go to this page: http://www.powerleap.com/ You can read (or watch the video) about what is involved in this procedure. You will also need to consult whether this upgrade would be compatible with your board. I put one of these things into a Gigabyte 6BX computers four years ago and turned it from a PII to a PIII. Never had a problem. Share this post Link to post
