I've been running a P-II/266 for months, overclocked at 300 even. It works flawlessly. It blows the hell out of my PPro/233. Hands Down, left right, forwards, backwards, and inside out. And I dont give a rip if its Slot 1, Slot 3, socket 8, or a bunch of wires glued to a CPU. I buy motherboards and processors together, and I dont give a rip what the connection is. I require performance for my apps, and there's nothing on the planet that will (currently) touch a P-II/300. -Crh -- Charles Henrich Michigan State University henrich@msu.edu http://pilot.msu.edu/~henrich
