Hi,

I have four basic questions about upgrading my CPU. My system specs follow
the questions. Thanks.

1) How much more speed in MHz could I get through upgrading my system's CPU?

2) Does this upgrade actually replace the current CPU?

3) How can I find out how to do this or have it done and how much should it
cost?

4) Is an overdrive upgrade the same as overclocking?

specs:
Intel Pentium MMX 200 MHz Processor (accepts Intel Pentium Overdrive
Upgrade)
64 MB SD-RAM
512K cache (L2)
Primary, 32K write back cache on MMX CPU
Phoenix BIOS
ATi GT Rage II (2MB SGRAM)
Windows 95
