yea, I know how you feel, BTDT. I upgraded a couple of celerons to full P3
running 133. The change from 66 or 100 to 133 is pretty good. But the most
bang for the buck (peso$) is a combo deal where you get an AMD "M" chip
with HSF and motherboard. Easily for under $100 USD a 2600 M (512k cache)
and loaded motherboard. I think you find that a P3 at 100mhz is going to
pull a bunch of power and you will need a power supply upgrade. The mobile
chip draw low power. I have got a couple of these
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...2600-N&cat=MBB and they
work pretty good. Dont have firewire but do have an AGP slot if you dont
want to use the builtin video. Newegg has them even cheaper.
