Does anyone know what's the highest speed Celeron/Pentium upgrade CPU I can get for my current "AbitBH6/128 Megs of PC100 RAM" combo? Currently I'm using a celeron 300a.

Jeff, I was hoping that someone like Zeuspaul would respond as I have next to 0 experience with dual boots. The only time this has happened to me is when I installed NT or win2K and it automatically set up a dual boot option to be chosen during bootup. I didn't like it because you have to be there to choose, or it makes you wait for a (I think configurable) time-period before it selects the last one that you used. Maybe this is not a problem, but it was a problem for me. I sometimes have a second OS on my second drive, but not lately as I have receded into a "user" mode rather than "experimenter": fewer catastrophic incidents. With the OS on the second drive you just switch the jumpers to choose which OS boots up. I think that there are hard-drive housings you can buy that allow you to install your HDD in one of the external bays and these housings have switches that let you change the jumper settings without opening your box. I never got into this as my box is always open. I also use DriveImage to create an OS clone (actually several) for when my system gets funky -- I just save data and return to an earlier, known-good OS instance. This is also useful if you're cheap-like-me and use a lot of shareware that times out after 30 days <g> wily
