has anyone exprienced changing the CPU ?

i need advice which CPU to buy .

thanks in advance

Not applicable

I had a similar issue on a costumer sites.

The PIX overheated because it was not stacked properly. It might sounds weired, I was the 4th one working on that issue and they did change the memory, Power supply without any lucks.

so whats do you guys reckon ?

u want me to add a fan on the heat sink of the processor and run for few hours ??

will that resolve the issue . dont mind firewall working without the cover. but i need it working.

coz i am planning to change the CPU. pentium MMX is hard to find these days . but i am trying to find 1 .

please advice .

regards
