    Thanks for the info. Were you trying to use a P3 or a Celeron?
    P'leap was very noncommittal when I asked them about an upgrade for
    the 333i+, single or dual, but I did have good luck with a Powerleap
    MMX in a Multia Pentium (took it to 333MHz with a K6-2) so it was
    worth the call. It just isn't worth the money to improve this one; I
    was hoping some free stuff I got would do the job. Powerleap just
    wants too much money.

    I'd assume you can take your box to P2-450 (x2), but since the p'leap
    didn't work, thats probably as far as you can go. Too bad; I prefer
    seeing the digital logo when I have to play with intel boxes, but
    boxes that old are edgy on usability except with more efficient OS's
    (hence linux).

    For now I just have to decide which linux distro is worth trying out.

    Rich
