Maxwell, "How cheap can I get a Slot 1 at 100MHz FSB? $99?" Sorry about the best you can do on a BX mobo is $159. These kids don't want a lowly LX mobo anyway. Got to have the latest. Even though there is virtually no speed advantage for 100MHz bus on Slot one. I realize you're not really sorry about this. <G> Jim

Maxwell, <2.1V or 2.3V are still OK. If existing MB doesn't have this voltage then you must buy a new MB.> This is not entirely true. If a board has a variable secondary power source for CPU core (all recent boards do this), there is a simple way to adjust the voltage. For a reasonably educated EE, it takes to remove or replace or add a SINGLE resistor. Sometimes it can be done by setting jumpers in parallel, or adding resistors instead of jumpers. Just look at the feedback wireing, that's it. Regards, - Ali
