Sorry, I didn't mean it like that! I meant I wan't something futureproof in that I won't need much more performance, not that I won't be able to run Windoze 97 or install a Descutes or whatever intel plans for.. Maybe "slot two" will be more reasonable, but from the specs I keep seeing, there's no good reason to be buying a Pentium II (apart from inability to get hold of any other Intel processors expect 486's!) -- Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
