https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/lc3-proccessor-upgrade/m-p/2805281#M3340 I have serveral LC3's I'd like to upgrade with a second proccessor. What do people think of using a non-from hp proccessor? A PII 450 from HP is $473. The same can be found on the open market for under $100? Please give me some opinions. Thanks.

If system stability is important for you then definately buy the HP CPU. <BR /><BR />Ciao,<BR />Greg Thu, 12 Sep 2002 16:14:48 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/lc3-proccessor-upgrade/m-p/2805282#M3341 Greg Carlson 2002-09-12T16:14:48Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/lc3-proccessor-upgrade/m-p/2805283#M3342 If you do purchase a non HP processor, remember you will need the VRM to make it work. This would have to be purchased from HP or one if there resellers.
