I own a Presario 1685 laptop equipped with a 380MHz AMD K6-II processor, which has a solid GPU and maximum RAM at 192MB. Despite these upgrades, it still runs slow, likely due to the CPU being the issue. A 500MHz K6-II would be straightforward to buy as a replacement, but I want to confirm compatibility first. It appears the board uses the same voltage but operates at a bus speed of 100MHz instead of the expected 95MHz—this might require adjusting the jumper settings on the motherboard.

Check the board to find out what’s there and what’s printed or screen-printed about it. Many boards from that time clearly display their configurations so you can match the jumper positions for specific CPUs, voltages, and speeds—some even handle AMD, Intel, or Cyrix chips. I own one that manages all these settings automatically for each chip type, voltage, CPU speed, and bus speed (Socket 5/7).
