Hi, I don't think you will be able to use a DX4 120, unless you your motherboard can take a 40MHz CPU. I believe it is a clock trippled 40MHz AMD486. I just replaced my DX2 66 with an AMD DX4 100 and am seeing about a 45% speed up. cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~atf3r/ --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!
