Check to see that your motherboard will accomidate the faster amd cpu , as the voltage varies , and check the bus speed as well. If the motherboard suports the chip you will be ok . Have you looked into adding ram > How much ram do you have. You can also try applixware. It runs much faster and beter on that calss hardware. I have applix on a P150 with 32 meg ram on 2 gig drive , with built in 2 meg CL chipset running with XFCE. KDE was too slow , Star Office was way to slow , even with XFCE. AMD K^ 2 are pretty cheap now. Questin is does the mc work with them. At 07:59 PM 3/22/2000 +0200, tabanna wrote:

I put SuSe 6.3 on a old P133 with 32Mb I had. Turns out that I'm using it more than I thought. This is just a home machine. Will I be lucky enough to drop in a new motherboard and Linux will boot, or do I need to go through installation again?
Yes, PLEASE . . . this is exactly what I have been wanting to ask. My old P133 is too slow for Star Office. I like the idea of putting in a new AMD CPU
What problems am I likely to meet ?
thanks :)
