Hi,
IIRC the Cyrix M-II would use Socket 7, which was standard at the time.
However, this doesn't tell you exactly what your motherboard supports - Super
7 can use Socket 7, but not vice versa.
The fastest processor (for Super 7) was the AMD K6-2+ 550Mhz, but it's
possible your motherboard's won't support the bus speed and multiplier
combination needed.
I would suggest, however, that you not upgrade. IMHO it's not worth the time
and effort - you would probably need more than the installed 32MB (maybe a
larger HD too), and considering you can buy a boxed Celeron 2.0 Ghz (just a
random example) for under $70, it seems a rather expensive exercise.
Hope this helps!
