Since the case will be open, you might as well as throw in some ram, too. you can get 512 megs for under $100 now.
Thanks. I have a 512meg SDRAM sitting on my desk ready to go in this weekend; it is a VERY up and running system that I'd prefer to not mess too much with the OS since it has been VERY good and stable for quite a while doing just what I need. I put in (2) 30gig drives and I periodically run dd to copy partitions from one to other as on-line backup ... but a CPU upgrade for the increased speed is certainly something I'd be up for.
I didn't start looking as yet, does anyone have any great ideas on where to find these CPU's? With what AMD's stock did yesterday, maybe they should make a few hundred of these for RAQ people needing them, could be a big sales boost compared to what they are showing ... if I had a few thousand $$ I'd probably buy some AMD at around $3/share :)
Thanks again, Jale
