Need info on my motherboard

[duritz]

I have an older mobo... A MSI MS-6119

I found on MSI's website that I can put in :

Celeron A (FPGA 370) 533 MHZ
Celeron II (Coppermine FCPGA FSB 66) 700MHZ
PIIIE (Coppermine, Slot 1, FSB 100) 850MHZ
PIIIE (Coppermine, FCPGA, FSB 100) 850MHZ

Now my question is.... Which would be the best one to put in?

Which are slot processers? I have an old celeron 400 socket 370 chip on a loose slotket that constantly freezes b/c the slotket is loose so I want to get a slot chip to bypass using a slotket....

Also it says I need bios version W6119IMS210 to use these processers. The link on MSI's site is down for the bios update. How do I know what version of bios I have and where else can I find the update?

Final question... Where can I find these processers? How much do they cost? Which ones will give me the most improvement over what I have now

Thanks

Well, if you want a SLOT1, get the P3 850. It's about $150 shipped from places listed on Pricewatch.

Your BIOS rev should be listed at POST somewhere.

Could you give me a link to the exact chip I need?

And does anyone know of a website that might have the bios flash since msi's download page is down?
