Thanks to anyone who looked at this post. I got offered a really great comp at a great price so I am buying a new one for me and upgrading my pentium 4 for my son. Merry Christmas to everyone

 

Good for you as 300MHz P3 is not worth upgrading IMO.

 

did they even make P3 @ 300mhz? wouldnt that be a P2 or even a P1?
