I have been trying to upgrade a Compaq Presario 2286 to run software that only runs on a DOS-based version of Windows. The original Cyrix MII CPU was replaced with an AMD K6-2/500, which caused performance to decrease. The FSB and multiplier are set to the maximum supported by the motherboard (83MHz, 6x multiplier). I even reinstalled Windows and nothing improved.
Is there a component on the motherboard that could have failed and caused such poor performance? I reinstalled the old CPU and the computer became even slower.
