NOTE: To check if your motherboard is compatable with Intel Coppermine CPUs, please check first if there is a blue sticker with the letter "C" located on the I / O chip. If it is present, that means your system will support Intel Coppermine CPUs.

The Winbond I / O chip is located near the Serial Port.

If it does than you should be able to upgrade to 600hmz PIII w/ 100 MHZ FSB with the right BIOS. This is a pretty impressive upgrade over your current CPU.

So, I checked, and is not compatible with Coppermine, but that's okay since Coppermine is too new. The Motherboard is an MSI-6163 Ver.1, I ended up buying the hardware and is pretty nice. I might post about it later... It has no floppy, because it doesn't work and I don't know why. Is an MMX/Pentium II 400mHz.

Another good cheap option for upgrading that video card, if you decide to upgrade it, is an nvidia Quadro2 MXR. I have one in my Pentium II, 300 MHZ rig and it works great. It is basically a slightly overclocked GeForce2 MX400. Can be had for around $10. The Quadro workstation cards are very stable and do have headroom for overclocking as well.
