Thank you, Pup

If you know the motherboard make and model number, there are tables
of upgrade info. Some companies don't give any details. This example
is about the best level of detail you can get. This table is for
an "Asus A7V" motherboard, something that might have taken a Duron
when it was released years ago.

For further info, you'd need to post the computer make and model
number ("Dell Dimension 3100") or the motherboard make and model
number ("Asus A7V"). Using that, if there is info available, we
can find it.
