Hello all,

I've been reading a lot about these mobile Barton processors and I'm thinking perhaps an upgrade for my Dual XP 1600's is in order. I'm running an MSI K7D.

I just wanted to ask - is it simply a matter of popping the CPUs in and tweaking them in BIOS? Are there any physical modifications that have to be done?

Is there a step-by-step guide available anywhere for an o/c noob? :p

Thanks guys
 
Also - I'm currently running 2 (two) 256mb sticks of PC2100 RAM - am I going to need better/more RAM? If so, how much, and what am I looking at for cost?

Thanks again
