Impossible.  Since there are no 100mhz bus boards out yet, how could you
get to 500mhz?

If you want to spend a lot of money, get a slot 0 board that supports the
300mhz Pentium II:   Cyrix is currently battling for the ability to use
the slot 0 too for their next generation chip, so there may be an upgrade
path for awhile.   It's the fastest intel-compatible chip out currently.

For my money, my next board is going to be an up to 83mhz socket 7 board
with a AMD K6-233.   This way I can later on (say, 9 months to a year)
sell the board and the chip and only lose, maybe a hundred bucks.   


	Good luck,

	...Rodney
