I've replaced my 24ram with 128, four 32MB 72 pin EDO SIMMS...replaced the power supply...put in a burner, modem, new sound card.... BUT I'VE YET TO FIND ANYONE WHO CAN GIVE ME A SOLID ANSWER ON HOW I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPGRADE MY PUNY 133MHZ CELERON. HOW CAN I FIND OUT HOW MUCH MY MOTHERBOARD WILL HANDLE? MEMORY UPGRADE TESTS ARE EASY TO FIND...BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS??
Help will be gratefully accepted.

Well, you can't actualy get a 133MHz celleron, but I'll assume you are running an original socket seven board, so the fastest chip it can probable take is one of the original PENTIUM 200MHz chips (not the MMX or cyrix, as they needed diferent voltage settings, but there is a chance your motherboard my support the different voltages so it might be able to go a little higher). The best place for you to find one of these would be on e-bay, for less than $20, just make sure it is the original type pentium when you get, and that there are jumper or switches on your motherboard to get the cPU to run at that speed.

Listen, for a small amount of money, compared to what you have already spent, you could pick up a 1ghz duron or celeron plus mobo dirt cheat right now, (you would need new memory as well)
You really would notice the difference. Other than that, BigParsnips right.
