>Anyone the above machine ???. thinking of a upgrade and thats what I can >splash out on :-) Ehr, a PII 333 is right now the worst choice as the 350 has a 100 mhz front-side bus and is substantially faster in games. The Celeron 300 a is usually highly overclockable and the Celeron 333a is just as fast. KSB

Two things: -wait until you can afford a 350 P2 - the price difference is nothing compared to the difference in performance -make sure that the 128MB RAM are cached, otherwise you'd have to remove 64MB...I could not notice any performance improvement after installing 128MB (had 64 before), only thing is that now I can record MUCH longer replays.

my suggestion is to get an abit motherboard and a celeron 300A, this combo can be overclocked to 450 and runs great! this will also save you several hundred dollars. 64 meg ram will be fine for play. As for the video card if GPL is a priority then get the Thriller 8 meg, if you want more compatability with other games then the voodoo2.
