I'll second that. I did an Evergreen MxPro upgrade to 200 MHz from an
Intel 133 CPU a couple of years ago- at least. I've since upgraded my MB to
an ASUS P5 A-B Super Socket 7 but the Evergreen continues to give stellar
service and lets me keep all my "outdated" hardware. Performance does not
seem to be significantly inferior to my AMD K6 450 MHz machine sporting the
same MB and four times the RAM.
Good luck with economical upgrading.
