    I was wondering what someone would suggest if in my situation.  I have a
P5-133 purchased in Feb, 1996.  I am needing (wanting) more speed.  The
fastest processor my motherboard (BR0T) will take is the 133 I have already.
It will, however, take the Overdrive processor that would update it to a
200MMX.  Would anyone suggest doing this?  How is the performance of the
200MMX Overdrive processor?  Also, would anyone suggest purchasing a new
motherboard, and then purchasing a pure 200MMX chip (that way I would have
the 133 processor, say if I decide to purchase a laptop sometime).  Also, if
I were to get a new motherboard, how might I go about determining if it will
fit in my current case?  And lastly, if I decided to upgrade to Pentium II
class, if I did this and purchased a 233 processor, with intentions of
purchasing a 400 when prices drop enough.
    OK, now that I have listed where I am, and different options, please
tell me what you would do (or have done).  Especially if you have done
something and are happy with the results or if you are not.

Thanks for the advice,
