Hello...

A:  Brand new to this list- 1st posting - HELLO!!
B:  Question about slapping in an AMD cpu on an older shuttle mainboard.

I have a client that I have done some work for in the past who asked me
if was interested in an old machine that she was going to (literally)
throw away.  I accepted and gave it a home.  It has an older Shuttle
"HOT-591P" mainboard in it.  I went to the web site for the mfg of the
board and obtained a .pdf file of the documentation for it - it states
that this board can accept up to 400mhz amd k62 cpu's.  I am having a
tough time finding one this "slow".  :(

Just wondering - anyone know if perhaps the documentation for this board
is simply indicative of the time that it was written (400+ cpu's didn't
exist yet) and that perhaps it ~could~ accept a 500 or faster cpu.  k62
500's are plentiful!

Anyone have any experience or know anything about this particular
board.  I'm figuring that for 50'ish dollars, I can more that triple the
processor speed - and that'd be my total investment into this little
box.  :)

TIA...
