Larry, You have a fine computer now. Do not get suckered in by all of this marketing hoopla. It is nonsense and people are just like sheep following the latest and greatest PC's and they will never use the features and speed. Besides by the time someone waits for a sale on a PC it is usually obsolete. Pentium II PC's are now obsolete and in my opinion not worth the money. Larry, tell me the truth, How fast can you really type???<ggg> Save yourself a lot of money and just overclock your P133 to a 166 by changing the multiplier from 2 to 2.5. INTEL makes great chips, with a very good yield. Most all 133s run at 166mhz. If the heatsink and fan is not a hefty one like CYRIX uses(1/2inch high HS) then buy one. You probably don't need it but it is always better to keep the CPU as cool as possible. Remember the asians were doing this on their PC's for over a year. In fact they were remarking all 133s to 166s and selling them in stores and computer shows etc. Most 166s bought this way are counterfeit. Yours is not as well as Dell,GTW,CPQ, etc. Then bring your memory up to 64megs and your cache, if the board allows, to 512k and you have a machine that will work fine for you and almost as fast.
