Why do I not notice a difference in speed when upgrading my CPU?

Depending upon what CPU chip you have installed in the computer determines how much speed the computer will increase. For example, if you just upgrade a 486DX to a 486DX2 you will not notice much speed increase. Even in a 486DX4 you will really not notice much more of a change in speed. Also, if you are putting a Pentium chip in a 486 board you will also not get the speed of a Pentium computer because you do have a Pentium board.

Generally, when upgrading the CPU, there will not be a dramatic speed increase in all programs. However, you should notice a small increase in program load time and or performance of a program.
