Looking to upgrade, CPU, Memory, and MB

[Win2kSix]

I have been overclocking for a few years now. First time I did it was for the experience and to help some software run and lame bragging rights. I have 2 boxes and I want to upgrade 1. Not really wanting the hassle of overclocking, and dont want to go bleeding edge, specially with the DDR mem at this point and time. I was looking
at the Asus A7V133 and the Iwill KK266-R, looking for a good CPU in the 1 to 1.2ghz range and some stable SdRam in the 133mhz range. Mainly looking for a solid upgrade with the least out of pocket expenese, arent we all .

Box 1
MB Asus P3v4x
CPU PIII550e (oc to 803mhz)
Memory Toshiba 256 meg Pc100 8ns (125mhz) Azzo
3 hard drives,
Maxtor DiamondMax ATA66 7200rpm drive.
Seagate 4.5 gig Medalist Pro St34520A
IBM 10 gig Deskstar 14GXP
Toshiba 32x cdrom XM-6202b
Sony Supressa 4x/8x Scsi CD-R
Sound Blaster Sblive
3com NIC
RCA Cable modem exteral

Box 2
MB BH6 (dead at the moment, see BH6 mb not posting)
CPU Celeron 300
memory 128meg Pc66
Hard Drive Seagate 10 gig
Sound Card Sblive
Intel NIC

Thanks in advance for your insight.

might want to rethink the ddr thing if yer buying memory anyways

256 meg of DDR PC2100 ram at crucial is under 50 bucks with free shipping
at the crucial.com/webpromo page.

I would recommend the broken record that everyone is playing:

8k7a (best AMD motherboard hands down)
256meg of PC2100DDR from Crucial
and a 1.2/266 oem with a globalwin CAK38 fan (currently the best $ value)

I know u say u don't want to overclock, but you might be
interested to know that with the flick of two dipswitches on the
motherboard, you'll be at 1.4 on that 1.2 processor and you won't
even have to TOUCH fsb settings in the bios.

good luck
