Comment: Just for the record (in case, like me, people google search for this type info):
I recently upgraded the BIOS for my Trigem Cognac motherboard to the latest version (3.07)
Then removed the old CPU (Intel Celeron 733 MHz, 66 MHz Bus) and upgraded to an Intel Pentium III, 1.0 GHz, 100MHz bus. $52 The motherboard autodetected the change in Bus speed, CPU and worked perfectly. It resulted in MUCH snappier response under Win ME, which I then upgraded to WIN XP Pro with SP2. I believe this is the fastest processor officially supported by the motherboard. Everything has been stable and working for two weeks now. I consider it a complete success.

Reply: (edit)Hmmm - spending actual paper money on a PIII system, that's bad enough - - but going & telling everyone (priceless)
I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.

Reply: (edit)Sure - - I've got nothing against the old machines (far from it), and in fact use a venerable 500MHz Dell for much of my online activity - - my sole investment there was a little time. Don't know that I'd start a post over it either, but maybe that's me {mileage varies I suppose} I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.
