excellent info at    nh.ultranet.com/~alison/gpl/  read everything there.
good old pentiums are a socket seven motherboard, p2's are a slot one. if you
can't afford to replace your motherboard and cpu ( abit bx6 or bh6 with a
celeron 300A overclocked to 450! less than $300 ) then your best upgrade is an
amd k6-300 which will pop right in your current motherboard for about $115.
don't spend the extra on the k6-2-300 as this requires a super seven mb for
optmium performance. have at least 64 meg ram and get an 8meg thriller.

One caveat - if your current motherboard doesn't support 2.2V CPU
voltage, then you'll need to upgrade for the K6-300. Then your decision
will be whether to go K6-2 with an AT Super7 motherboard, an ATX
motherboard and new case, or Celeron/PII with new motherboard and new
case. :)
