Forc5,
RU kidding me? A 1Ghz chip for a Bx6r2?
Nowhere in my UM do I see a mention of 1Ghz..........
Really? This prick is an old slot ?something?
I forget. It has been too many years..........sorry
ATM the P2-450 plays happy where it is.
Just trying to find IT an OS.......
Perhaps a P2-450 and m/b will not do WinXP?
ATM, I just do not know.
In the AM I will try Win2Kpro...........
after I wash the new drive........... LOL!
For MS, I find this really strange.......but not completely,
and, I will continue my research; lame as it may be!
All of you Vista users need not reply.
I really do not want to drown in all the,
"get on with it for Gawd's sake!" business.
Thank you very much,
Duncan
