TICKET ARCHIVE -> Pentium upgrade

Problem:
Problem (other):
Computer Type: Fujitsu
Computer Type (other):
Model: FMV 575D4 Desktop
Program:
RAM: 65+
RAM Enhancer:
OS Version: Windows 95
Service Pack:
Extra Info:
Description:
I would like to know how far I can upgrade my CPU, currently a 75Mhz Pentium, located in a 'socket 5'
On the motherboard, there is a set of 2-pin jumpers, (JP8) marked 50, 60, and 66Mhz. Currently, the 50Mhz pins are connected.
There is also a table called 'core/bus clk ratio' This shows combinations of two more 3-pin jumpers, (JP14 and 18) and different ratios given in two different columns, the first of which is marked P54. This shows values of 3/2, 2/1, 3/1 and 5/2. The second column is marked M1, K5, and has values of 3/2, 2/2, 3/1 and 1/1.
Assuming that the pins are numbered from left to right when the lettering is the correct way up, then the current setting is 5/2, (both jumpers having pins 2 and 3 connected)
I would like to boost the performance of this machine as far as possible. Would an overdrive chip be a better investment than a faster processor?
Fujitsu are reluctant to help me with this (something about the warranty!), so any light you could shed for me would be much appreciated.

Mr. Ford
My name is Vito Leybman and I am replying to a question you posted at NoWonder web site.
You should get a Pentium 180 MMX Overdrive. It will upgrade your processor to 150 mhz. Go here for the cheapest price http://necxdirect.necx.com:8002/cgi-...24&nonce=guest I just bought that same product from them. Or you can get a whole new motherboard which would cost you about $400.
If you have any further questions or comments please feel free to e-mail me at vitol@nowonder.com
