You'll need a new motherboard (ATX type), a new case to put it in and new
memory. Depending upon the other peripherals in your 233 system, these could
also use updating/replacing as well. It really isn't worth the aggravation.
With the price of PC's these days, I would spend the $1000.00 or so for a
complete system and use your old monitor.

Subject: Upgrading CPUs
Dear Group,
The last few years, I've been using a P233 MMX computer as my main
trading computer. I recently acquired a P3/500, and it has turned
out
to be signficantly better --- surprise!
Its success has now led me to ask if I can upgrade my P233 MMX
computer
simply by buying and installing a new CPU for it, for example, a
P3/500
or a Celeron 400? Is this doable or would I be looking at also
having
to buy and install a new Motherboard as well? Or what would I have
to
do to upgrade my P233 to something more like my P3/500? If anyone
has
any experience with this, I would appreciate hearing about it from
you.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Richard Josslin
