I don't know if you can upgrade your MOBO. But perhaps you should
look into upgrading your MOBO. The P3 1GHz (slot 1) Coppermine
processor will run you $300. for less you can get an
1.)AMD XP 2500+ for $90

2.)SOYO KT600 Chipset Motherboard for $76

3.)512MB for 77.99

and save $50 some dollars and get a faster computer and USB 2,DDR
memory, ATA133, etc etc etc.
If you choose to stay with your current machine I would see if you can
use the FPGA as they are cheaper than the slot 1 versions.
