WTB: ~1Gig Celery and half-decent vid (GeForce2 or something like that)

I'm going home next Wed and wanna do a little upgrade on my bro's computer while I'm there. He's got Celeron 300@450 running on BH6 with V3 2000. I wanna bump that setup upto 1Ghz celeron and GeForce2 Pro or even possibly GeForce3 Ti 200 if there's someone here wants to let his/her go.

Whatever I end up buying, I need the item absolutely by next Friday since that's the last day I'll be home and my bro wouldn't know what to do with the new computer stuff

I'm willing to pay in whatever means necessary - paypal might be the best option here.

I also need slocket and heatsink/fan to go with the CPU since the 300A is a slot 1.

Let me know what you got.

I may even consider an AMD combo (MB + Duron/XP + HSF) if the price is right.

Did the same upgrade on a pals bh6,bought a generic super slotket and a 1 gig celery.Make sure you get the 128k celery slotket combo,the newer 256k celery won't work(that I know of).He had an older bios(nk?)pcb rev.1.1,it only booted up as a pIII 850,but sissoft sandra recognized it as a 1 gig celery,so we passed on the bios upgrade.It works fine and benches as such.Made a big difference compared to his 433 celery,and delayed a m/b cpu upgrade for a while.Good luck.

I have the same setup running on my BX motherboard as well

Cely 633@950. Runs most games ok altho I'll prolly need to get a new vid myself - I got Radeon DDR.

I didn't know about the cache issue - been out of loop for a while. Thanks for the heads up
