Right now theres a celeron 1 400@500. I think it needs a little boost. Maybe a celeron 533@800 or something. The trick is I would like to get it going at around 700 or so if P!!! and around 800+ if celemine. I don't know what all will work in there though. I stopped paying attention to intel stuff pretty much after I switched to AMD more than a year ago. Oh btw this is my moms system not mine, and I just feal sorry for here. It takes FOREVER to do anything on that damn system. I think that defragging will help alot though.

hehe, I started it last night. I dont' know if it finished or whatever cuz I haven't been on that puter yet today. IT only has 64megs of ram too. I think with ram prices they way they are 192 sounds like a good # for that box! :)

I got the latest QR BIOS. It brings the multiplier to 9X or 9.5X. I'm using a PIII-800/100 in it with no problems.
