I'm using Win32DiskImager for backup/restore my CF card for previous backups, it's like a ghost program which I import the last ISO to the CF card and it makes the partitions again.

Hi I currently run a 733mhz pentium 3 on Intel i820 motherboard. Would I notice any big differences by upgrading the 733mhz to 1.0ghz Coppermine? I see these cheap on ebay. Would a Tualatin 1.0ghz is better than Coppermine? and does my motherboard supports it?
