Thanks for the tips so far.  I was surprised when I saw the XP 1700+   The
Athlon 750 MHz (not sure which generation that would
be and which the XP athlons are) came in a cartridge instead of the chip
itself going right onto the motherboard.  The Athlon XP
chip appears to be a PGA type chip.  I guess that is the reason the name is
Socket A and not Slot A, right?
