This box has a 200 MHz PPro with 256 KB cache. The 233 MHz PII's are a totally different beast, and won't work in this machine. When I went to Pricewatch and ESP, they indicated that there are several companies out there selling 200 MHz PPros for $250-$350. Some of the cheaper merchants are pulling them from machines, so caveat emptor. > If many people are looking at this it is worth asking Insight about > the cost of a "12 pack" (or 25 or whatever) with a second compatable > CPU.
