Go up one level in this thread
If you have a reasonably recent computer, you only need to change motherboard, CPU's, and perhaps memory. You can do it yourself or find a knowledgeable friend or a shop. My advice: go for the cheap solution. If you HAVE to buy now, an ABIT BP6 with two Celeron 500 CPU's will cost less than $500 (plus memory if necessary). Otherwise, wait for the introduction of the new Celerons with 100 MHz bus. If Intel does something to prevent them being used in dual coonfiguration, you can buy whatever P-III is entry-level in two or three months - it will probably be 550 MHz and very cheap. Intel is changing ALL its chips now, this is not a particuarly good moment to buy. I certainly would not buy dual PIII-733's... but if you do, well, it's still going to cost you less than the shrink would :) Alberto
