My friend, (the one with the Aptiva) has an AMD Duron 600MHz. Could I upgrade to the1.8GHz Duron?

On a proc, what is the diff between OEM and not OEM? Is there any installing software that doesnt come?

Maybe maybe not. If the CPU physically fits into the motherboard than you should be fine ... depends on the mobo though :)

Depends on the context of 'OEM'... if you mean "buying an OEM (or not) processor" OEM = box and manuals and stuff. If you mean "I bought a computer with X processor from an OEM" then it means you have a processor ... nothign fancy there
 
I meant buying an OEM processor, no box. All I was asking is if there were any software things that usually came with a cpu, that wouldnt come with an OEM

Arent all Durons socket A? If so, wouldnt it fit no matter what the mobo is?

Do IBM mobo support OCing? Are they good for it? I dont know what the mobo is, Im going over there tomorrow, I can find out.

Naturally they would not.
 
Very few OEM systems have OC support, IBM, HP/Compaq, Dell all don't come with OC support. it reduces the techsupport calls from users who cranked the clock speed without understanding any of what they were doing and keep crashing their system.

Think about it.
1. Buddy buys an OEM
2. Buddy overclocks because his hax0r friends at school tell them its schoo;
3. Buddy fries computer and tries to claim warranty
Oh, did I forget to say buddy is a moron?

There *are* OEMs that support OCing however if you're considering them them you already know how to OC and to build, dissassemble and reassmble computers
 
I didnt know that IBM was OEM.

OK, so no OCing. But there was only a three year warranty, and it is from '98.

Are there any name brands that are not oem?
