I agree with Ben. Do not throw money at this model. In addition to the
processor limits, you also have a severe memory bottleneck since the max RAM
this model takes is either 256MB or 384MB depending on which contradictory
spec you believe. 384 is BARELY sufficient for XP and that's only if you
never need to run two apps at the same time. Much better equipped PCs are
available today for under $500. I advise start saving.

The motherboard is designed to accept the higher voltage Celeron CPUs.
The
fastest is 533MHz. The CPUs are clock-locked, so running at the 533MHz
speed
would be automatic.

The front side bus of the system is limited to 66MHz. With the help of
special
hardware, it might be possible to install a faster low-voltage 766MHz
Celeron.
See if PowerLeap still has a Socket 370 kit available, but it would
probably be
more expensive than the system hardware is worth... Ben Myers

I wrote an earlier message regarding overclocking this machine.
Thanks for the suggestions. This machine runs XP very well and since
there is no chance of overclocking this is there a way to put a faster
Celeron processor in it, would it recognize it and run at the new
speed? There doesn't seem to be a way to set any switches or anything
on the motherboard. Thanks for any suggestions. DKline
