Compaq armada 7800 upgrades

[Dominator211]

My grandfather just left my house and he dropped off to Old pcs one of which being a Compaq Armada 7800... I am not sure how fast the Pentium 2 processor is but I do not seem to find any guides on how to upgrade the processor if at all possible I'm just thinking if it would be possible

Might be possible to upgrade it to a slightly better CPU from the same time period.
You're not going to gain a lot from doing that though. It's not like you can run anything modern on it.
It should be fine for playing old DOS/Windows games from the time period. Maybe stick a sound card in there for better compatibility with some old games. Stuff like Adlib/OPL3.

to do any worthwhile upgrading, I'm guessing you'd need to replace the whole mobo, not just the CPU. P2's were that weird cartridge type package, right? IIRC, the only other chips to use that form factor was a certain type of Celeron, so maybe you could look into those, but I doubt they're gonna be very good for an upgrade over P2's. These are like turn of the century era chips, unless you're just messing around for fun and to learn about old tech, you're not going to get much out of one these days.
