    Ive got 2 old compaq computers that im not sure what to do with. one of them is a cyrix 2 @ 250mhz and the other a AMD K6 @ 400mhz. the cyrix is really small, the amd huge. now, both are socket 7 motherboards and processors, so i want to take the amd and put it in the cyrix and vice versa. is there anything else i need to do this? a new BIOS perhaps? i dont want to break anything by screwing around with it so i decided to ask first. thanks for the help! :thumb:

    yeh you have to change the jumpers to match the fsb and the mult and the voltage of the amd and the cyrix on the other boards.
