Jim, why don't you try a board that allows for over-clocking CPU and BUS speeds. Very economical way for a big performance hit--cocaine for your PC. Careful though Intel is on a zero tolerance drug policy. Some of Intel's chip cannot be over-clocked. Try some of these pages: www.tweakit.com www.tomshardware.com www.anandtech.com www.sysopt.com Lachesis

>>What speed/performance gain is there from P166 to 233mmx?<< Approximatyely 50% About 35% is from an the increase in clock speed and about 15% for the increase in level one cache size. I also suggest you look at the "Benchmark Score Comparison Surveys" at the System Optimization Information web site at sysopt.com They have a lot benchmark scores there for various CPUs. However, they don't supply an executive summary and it takes a long time to make sense out of all of the data they provide. Networm, are there any web sites that summarize benchmark results in a format that can be quickly read and interpreted?
