I purchased a motherboard as the start of a system to be used as an office
word processor and email machine.  My computer building experience is limited.
Here is the seller's description of the MB:

"This is a used tested Intel SE440BX-2
Supports Celeron 266 - 433, P2 266 - 450, P3 450 - 600
Memory 3 Slots up to 768MB PC66, PC100, PC133 168 pin SDRAM
Integrated Yamaha* PCI audio
CPU Retaining brackets are included."

I'd appreciate advice concerning selection of a CPU. Speed is not a primary
consideration.
I am concerned with compatibility, availability, dependability, bus speed
considerations, etc.
All suggestions, opinions, or other input would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bob Lendrim
