So with 350mhz I'm barely over the hump. I do have plenty of RAM @
384mb. I may consider the upgrade to XP when I build a new box after the
first of the year. Anyway, as I understand to get the upgrade for $80 it
has to be bundled with a hardware package. (??)
In the meantime I'll make do with what I have and maybe stick in a
450mhz cpu which is the max on this mobo. Before anyone tells me how
cheap ($300) it is to build a new box they have to realize that the
problem is migrating all of my legacy (read, cheap old) hardware.
Replacing this stuff would cost the big bucks. Besides cheap, old works
for me and I'm doing my part to resist the industry push to make
everything obsolete so you have to "upgrade"
