Dan, I did the same thing you did a couple weeks ago, motherboard brain surgery. My old motherboard crapped out for some reason. I took the opportunity to pick up some PC100 so now I have 64mb PC100 plus 32mb of old Megatrends SDRAM which (amazingly!) runs at 112 MHz bus speed (although not reliably at CAS 2).

It's a little faster, although I really think the limiting factor is my hard drive for almost everything (I have a WDC UDMA drive).

The one clear benefit that I see is in games, where the new CPU/mobo ROCK--of course, I also needed a new graphics card to make use of the 3dNow! power.

Got a cable modem last week which IMHO is the best use anyone can put their personal IT money to these days.
