Oh no ! ..an old Asus P5A has come back to haunt me ! ...

....and I'd got used to working with cpu's faster than 1.5 ghz !! :-)

I've got feeling that it's got an AMD K6/2-500mhz chip on it ...

....now I'll have use for that free "MS Windows Security update CD Feb 2004"
cd :-)

regards, Richard

The K6-3 450 (or the rare 500) works great on that board and will scream
compared to any K6-2. If it's version 1.04 or lower, it will take the
K6-2/3+.

Absolutely !!! I used one for years and found them bullet proof,
forgiving and flexible.

On the internet, you won't see much performance difference between the
P5A and a new board. Loaded with lotsa RAM and a K-3-450 it'll still
hold it's own.

BTW, it appears the P5A has become something of a "classic". When I
sold mine, 6 months ago, I advertized it locally and had potential
buyers lined up after the first day. Almost put it back on the closet
shelf for posterity
