Hello everyone! Here's some newbie kind of questions: I have this Dell computer, and I have ordered a P3 @ 1.2 GHz upgrade (Tualatin) from Powerleap (http://www.powerleap.com/Products/iP3T.htm) so this basically solves my need for speed for the next 12 or 18 months... but then what? Can I replace the mobo of this OEM computer? This is a SE440BX-3, and the specs say that this is an ATX form factor mobo (12 x 7.75 inches). So can I just replace it with a mobo of that same size to be able to upgrade to the latest processor? What kinds of other things will I have to replace as well? (off the top of my head I can think of drive controller and memory) Am I stretching too far the limits of this computer? Would this be not worth the effort versus starting from scratch? I appreciate your thoughts and experiences. V Zamora
