I don't know if this is an alternative you might wish to try. Check the
internet for specs on the MB. I searched using the model number and found a
lot of information for mine. The book for it said that the processor would
only go up to a 200 mhz processor but that was not correct per the web pages I
located. I did confirm this via email with the manufacturer. The MB, in fact
will take up to a 233 MMX processor and I found one for about $30 plus
shipping. Granted the increase in speed from a P150 to P233 isn't all that
much but I have noticed a definite improvement. If you can do this on your
133, you will most likely see the difference.
I already had 64 megs of ram.
RW> Also, would this effect OS/2??
My change did not effect OS/2 in any bad way, it just gave me better I/O.
