Thanks Ed...

In my case, I have successfully upgraded my Compaq 5000, as well as a Dell 
XPS-T450, and my daughter's older Dell (L350?)  All work great, and have 
give new life to these older computers, and are fine for our needs.

This board, similar to one in a Dell Dimension 4100, have been tested to 
work with both the PowerLeap and Upgradeware adaptors.  In my case, the 
board runs fine with an 800mhz Piii.  I have experienced instability, which 
really must be hardware related, using the adaptor and a 1.2 Piii.  I have 
swapped the adapters and 1.2's from my Compaq in an effort to see if it's a 
particular adapter, a particular CPU, and no difference.  Same for memory 
(different speeds, brands, etc..), power supply, hard drives, even 
motherboards... no luck.  Yet both claim it should work...

The reason I believe it's hardware is because when the system does go dead 
(lights on) or BSOD, it might take minutes, unplugged, before it will go 
back on again.  Or even a clearing of the CMOS.

It's running fine at 800... but I wish I could resolve the issue....
