POOR GUY NEEDS HELP :(

1) Trust me, you don't want old Slot A type processors. The only ones left AFAIK are the "transitional" Slot A T-birds--and it's usually cheaper to get an equally clocked Socket A T-bird and a new motherboard than to buy a Slot A T-bird.
2) If you play at a reasonable resolution, I believe 650 is enough to get a benefit out of a GF2 Pro. In hardware-accelerated 3D games, your CPU only really holds you up if you play at something like 640x480 all the time.
3) I would think the GF2 Pro is a good choice.

Lower resolutions make the graphics card work less, thus limiting your frame rate to the rate at which the cpu can generate work for it. High resolution loads the graphic card up (you still need a powerful cpu though.

I think at this stage, rather than investing in a new Slot CPU you should really think about a new board and cpu.

How about this?

$56 + shipping for your best option of a slot A Athlon 800Mhz with no upgrade potential and no future.

Or

$141 for ECS SiS735 DDR board with 1G Athlon C (266FSB) incl. heatsink
$72 for 256Mb Corsair PC2400 DDR memory
Stick your GeForce2 64Pro ($128) in there and you are rocking.


which = kick ass machine.
