IMO, you'd probably be better off to buy an older Socket A board and some new RAM for roughly the same price. Pentium slots (assuming that's what you have) are often costly to upgrade. I've even seen a few Socket A boards that take SDR RAM as well.

You are in the UK?
"Please call technical support on 0870-7806666"

But yeah socket A can get you above 2 GHz.
With Socket A giving such great price-perfomance, it's a great way to go.

A 440BX can technically get to 1.4GHz, but you'd need a good slocket (slot 1->socket 370 converter kit), possibly an old 370 to new 370 converter (they switched two pins on the CPU), and then an expensive CPU to boot. You're porbably better off getting a cheap AXP setup.

Not super cheap, but it'd be good.

I tried to look up that motherboard on MSI's archive list, but it isn't even listed there..there was a 6119, but no 6116
