(I should point out that I've been out of the 'hardware sales' business for about 8 months -- the last Celeron I sold was a 400, hence PPGA. Since then, everything I've used has been PIII Slot1 exclusively, due to moronic pricing structures and supply shortages of anything but by my primary supplier.) -- Matt Emmerton > Hi > > This is not true.
