 Well the guy next door is knowledgable in Windows operating systems
 and says all these new inexpensive releases such as XP are system

Hey, go to an internet search engine that's what I did and still found
plenty of information about 1993 - 94 Packard Bell motherboards.
This is the only way I was able to setup this system and will be

I even have .JPG images of the motherboard and jumper locations to

I want to upgrade the processor in the Pentium as I'm certain it will
be cheap and doable but not before I know what I'm doing beforehand.
