Dear James,
I would also go for a new motherboard and processor. I don't know if you have
looked into the prices but 30 pins rams are very expensive per Mbytes in
comparison to a 72 pin or even a DIMM. Right now i would buy a new board
including PC100 DIMMS. That will give you in RAm and processor a up to date
system for some time. I wouldn't say for how long as the technology is moving
very fast.
Advice, if you buy a new board it's best to buy a good brand. That is because of
support and bios upgrades.
Regards,
Joop Boonen.
