: 4. If the Mobo supports it, buy a cheap $50 (or under) Pentium 233 chip. It's the highest you'll be able to go with Intel standard technology and the type of socket that motherboard is using.
If it's a new Motherboard, anything up to an AMD K6-2-550 might be supported and is in the $85.00 range. At double the clock speed, this would be a better option, if mobo supports it.
Note: I don't want to start an Intel vs. AMD debate, I use both.
