You might look at: <http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/category/10192>. For that matter, I find 578 listings on eBay under category Home->Buy->Computers & Networking->Desktop & Laptop Components ->CPUs for Desktop PC->Intel->Pentium III But I would ask why you are anticipating a loss of OS and software configuring. Linux does not do configuration stuff the way Windows does, and generally adapts itself to what it finds at boot time. carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
