  Did you use that "This wasn't helpfull" thing (;))?
  
  Knowing Compaq "Internet PC"s I can bet that it's not very much better then what they list, if you can even GET anything to run in it besides what they list.

  OK Thanks! I checked SANDRA and it said 1.2 Ghz +, so I could try a 1.2 Ghz Athlon? Or do they have to be Duron (Ewwww). what socket would this be? Thanx

  Would this be any good if I can use an Athlon?

  It comes with the fan and crap, but would I need any of that thermal compound shit for it to work?
  
  Is upgrading to a 1.2 even worth the 40 bucks?

  On any new processor you DEFINATELY need cooling, that much I know.

  First, Duron > Celeron and some P4s.
  
  
  Get a BIOS update and youll probably get 1.80GHz+

  I'm upgrading the BIOS now...
  
  Does 1.2 Ghz from 900 Mhz make any difference in speed. Is it worth it for 40 bucks?

  I'd say 300 Mhz will be noticeable.
