Want to upgrade from Pentium III 667...

[dcdomain]

It's a Slot1 right? I saw Slot1's go as high as 866mhz. What are flipchips? I'm guessing the 933mhz and 1ghz Pentium III flip chips won't work on the current mobo right?

"Flip chips" are socket 370 Pentium III's.

You can use a FC processor if you use a slocket adapter.

If you have a 667 you obviously have support for 133 MHz FSB chips, so a 933 or 1 gig should work fine.

I went to Multiwave, and they still have slot 1 PIII's. The problem is they are expensive. You could get an athlon 1.4, ECS K7S5A Motherboard for around the same money. Since the Motherboard supports the use of either SDram of DDR Ram you have the option of upgrading to faster memory later. Also, the PIII architecture is dead (no faster chips will be produced), the Athlon can continue to be upgraded.

Get a Celeron 800 with cDO and a slocket card. Put the fsb up to 133MHz and you have an easy 1066MHz. $62 shipped on pricewatch, my wife is currently running one at 1120/140.

slot 1s actually go up to 1ghz...kinda rare. but think about it...i think its still the same as a 1.4ghz athlon. go figure.
