you've got alot of reading ahead of you. this is absolutely not something anybody could ever possibly answer in an email. it took me about a month to familiarize myself with AMD CPU's, technology and mobos. the best anyone can do is to give you loads of URL's to read. foo gave me slota.com which was very good. anandtech and tom's hardware were also very good, but sometimes give too much info without covering the basics. i kept reading about "south bridge" for the longest time before finding an article that described what a "south bridge" was. i also seached for "pc tutorial" on google. there's alot of good non-intelligence insulting tutorials. if you have *specific* questions, we might be able to help better. > Also if anybody knows where to get a > really cheap computer (like 100$ or less, at 166mhz or more) i'd really > appreciate it. Thanks for the help, bye. is this for a firewall? there's a 486 selling for 4.95. the auction ends in 4 minutes. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&query=486 looking through ebay, they seem to have pentium I mobo/cpu for about $20, pentium II mobo/cpu for about $50. i'm even seeing a PIII mobo+550MHz cpu for $90 (that's a great price!). that auction for that ends in 11 minutes, so it can't go up too much. i did a search on "pentium". i'd say for "cheap" ebay is a good bet! :-) good luck! pete > -Gage > --------------------------------------------------- > Promote Bands: http://www.teamiag.com/go.cfm?id=451&promo=11 > > -- "You may not use the Software in connection with any site that disparages Microsoft, MSN, MSNBC, Expedia, or their products or services ..." -- Clause from license for FrontPage 2002
