Hello ^_^ I"m pretty new to updgrading/overclocking/building etc.. so bare with the newb :) I have an Intel SB8255 chipset from a 300PL IBM computer i got from my friend. I'm trying to find the specs on this baord because i want to updgrade the CPU to the fastest clock speeds offered for it, but i'm having trouble. The cpu is a Pentium II 333hmz's but i'm not sure what processor to get and/or if this is the highest the board can handle???>..... can someone help a newb out here ^^

i say its about time for the newb to get a new computer. Just get something cheap. A 1 GHz celeron would be nice. I got mine for 63 bucks about 2 years ago i guess. today i see one at price watch for 37 bucks. than you will just need a cheap mobo. good luck with you and your newbish self =)

hehe yeah thats the wisest thing to do i'm sure. Actually i'm planning on splurging a bit on a new board... AMD cpu etc etc... i have my eyes on a few things already. But i just wanted to suck the last bit of juice of of this POS.. ^_^ .. i really just wanted to se tup a small Lan in my basement untill i can afford better computer parts and more than one comnputer that isn't such a pos.
