Hi all. I'm gonna be upgrading my processor soon (a 2.8Ghz Celeron) & whilst looking for a good deal i came across this site. Has anyone had any dealings with these guys & is their merchandise any good ? Looks very promising if their processor can do what they claim it can. I would prefer putting in a P4 if i could find one using an FSB of 400Mhz but this looks ideal. Any comments would be helpful.

Looks overpriced to me. Description is very confusing, almost sounds like they are claiming HTT-like technology on 400 bus. ???

2.6ghz version for $137

Looks as though they manufacture their own version of a Pentium 4. Cyrix use to rip off Intel processors way back before the original Pentiums came out so i'm assuming they do the same. I'm going to email the company & try to get a proper spec sheet before i decide what to do.

i've seen evergreen tech. before. they used to have an upgrade that would take a 33MHz machine and turn it into a 66/75MHz machine and then an upgrade for a pentium 90 to a 133/150. they worked, but some os's were really buggy with them, and certain bios's don't support them correctly when it comes to proper speed and what not. you *gulp* could try it, but i think in the long run it would be cheaper to get a different mobo and processor if you really wanted to go about it the safe way and the right way, shouldn't shorcut a computer when it comes to something that advanced, but that's just my opinion.
