Why do you say that in the long run it will cost more?

Are you saying there is not much of a difference between a
P1 133 and P2 400?
I have noticed big differences between my P1 90 desktop and
a P1 166 notebook I have.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Does that mean a BX board will not fit in the same space as
my current board (with a P1 90mhz)?
