Now that you have most of the info on this old one, is there anything bigger or better than the 1.3 CPU installed. Have tried various web sites and they dont even show anything more than 1.0. This PC has been the most reliable one I have owned. There are 3 other PC`s at home all modern and much higher specs, but I would like to hang on to this one for a while. And yes Quantum, its still running the old Radeon 9550 with 512 mb ram.lol
cheers
Quantum:
According to wiki there should essentially be the same CPU you have but clocked at 1.4 GHz, but that's it really in terms of how powerful that socket gets.
^_^, I'm often dealing with computers with 256MB of Ram, GeForce 2 and an Athlon CPU. I usually help people turn them in to a silent media centre :D

Is my CPU too small???
i've got a problem....when i use Windows Live Messenger, with my web cam, my CPU is running at around 90 to 100. If i'm downloading, it distorts my cam pics and audio :(
my CPU is...2.07 gig AMD Athlon, with 1536 megabytes installed memory.

Yeah Windows Life Messenger is the worst written code I've ever seen in terms of wasting up CPU cycles. Might be able to help you out a little by showing you how to remove it's crap adverts and stuff, but I'm not sure any other programs that support MSN support it's webcam chat.
What CPU is it exactly? Download CPU-Z if you don't know: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
