You are being nice. I personally would have told him that his computer can only accept a Socket 5 at a whole 133, which is more than those slow new 3.06's that Intel is now trying to 'unload' on the unsuspecting public. I also would have offered to sell him one of my 'extra' 133's for only 300ドル. :) -b -----Original Message----- From: W.

You should have told him that his motherboard would only except a Slot 1 P3, and that it may look like the processor doesn't fit or even is of the same configuration - but that it just needs a little forceful coaxing to get it in there. I'll bet he never asks a stranger for stupid advise again. > Just got a call from Ken Nosal (according to caller ID, he preferred not > to id himself), 215/735-5967.
