It seems like my computer spends as much time in pieces on my dining room table as it does up and running. Currently I've got a Super 7 motherboard on order. I've got a P5-233MMX chip in my computer now, which will hold me for awhile anyway, and with this new motherboard, I'm just a processor and a RAM upgrade away from going all the way to the AMD K6-3 550 (Last I heard, that was going to be top-end for the K6-3).

Of course, this is kind of the last hurrah for the Socket 7 motherboards. Socket 370 is the wave of the future. I'm waiting for Merced still!

Also, would you happen to know what the K7 will fit in? I don't think it's going to be a socket 7 chip, but I haven't seen any specs that say what it will fit into.
