I think you may have got it slightly wrong, from what I understand it's not possible to upgrade your PII 266 to a P4 1.7 just by changing the cpu. Your current machine is something like 4 years old, and with the technology and components to match.. .If you are now contemplating a replacement machine don't skip your old machine, as many members here may testify, there are times when the trusty beast comes into its own when the latest technology crashes for no apparent reason, and you wish to post here and there for help.
