Help choosing a new Processor/Mobo

[MrX]

I got a aging Dell Dimension XPS H233 with a Pentium II 233 MHz and everything on the system is current except for the Processor and the Intel PD440FX mobo. I'm on quite a tight budget and i was thingink about upgrading to around 700-900 MHz can you guys please reccomend a good processor/mobo. I'd like to go with Intel but i dont really know. Im on a really tight budget (around 300-350) and i also need SDRAM(my old ram is EDO) and a fan if i go with FCPGA.

Any help is appreciated, Thankx.

Intel Inside = Idiot Outside. P3s cost much much more than AMD CPUs and they are as a whole, slower. now if your talkin P4s thats another story hehe
