A 500 or 600 MHz chip replacement for ~$30 will take up all the slack between 8.2 & 10.x. Note that a PIII requires a different cooler configuration than a PII. Another 256M of RAM wouldn't hurt either, even at 300 MHz. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace." Colossians 4:6 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
