If you act fast you can drop in a celeron 300a / abit bh6 mobo for as little as
$160, this combo will rin gpl fine at 300, and is awesome at 450! which can be
acheived about 85-90% of the time, almost 100% to 374. You'll need a new case too,
as little as $45, and 64 megs of ram. It is well worth the money, once you drive
gpl at a constant 36fps with all the eye candy you will be glad you stepped up.
