This is FUN. I've bought 3 CPU's and am getting a 4th. (For my 2 CPU system.)
I may buy more if I happen to destory some. Have I spent hours? You bet!
At and avg of $90 a CPU with at least several hour of joy behind each one, they
are much more cost effective them women. Hey I could be at the nudey bar last
night....but I'm running @500MHz instead! : >

Celeron 300A with a mobo that allows 100MHz bus selection. (Or some scotch
tape) No tricks, it just runs @450Mhz for $80 a CPU.

Paid $450 total, (SM DGE, 2x300A's) and I'm not going to see less then
900MHz.

Not only is this a hardware freaks greatest ego trip, it certainly is cost
effective. The OC of my PPro's and custom bus speed hack allowed me to hold out
22 months before an upgrade. You ever make it past 6-7months? You've got more
cash then I to blow...
