You may be assuming the speed is due to CPU when it is some other factor. More important questions to answer: 1) How much RAM? 2) Are you using Win95? 3) What kind of modem?

And even if it's a CPU problem, shane's whole point is that you can upgrade fairly reasonably to a motherboard with a 200mhz Cyrix or AMD clone. The additional upgrade cost to a Pentium II 300+ is going to cost a fair amount more, without much corresponding speed increase in common applications.

OFF TOPIC - Spend a couple of bucks, if you have them, to get a new CPU/motherboard, Win95 (if you don't have it) and 32mb of DRAM. The speed/multitasking is a phenomenal breakthrough and makes it a lot more fun.
