384 megs of RAM is the max according to their Upgrade Information (128 meg sticks X 3); Intel's says it'll take 256 meg sticks.
1X AGP is the best it will do; 8X is the latest AGP standard. Intel made slot 1 CPU's up to and a little over 1 gHz, they are VERY expensive. PowerLeap has a 1.4 gig Celeron upgrade for them, about $100.00. I would recommend saving your nickels and starting from scratch with a new build. That 850 processor would probably fetch you a decent price on eBay. The 100 mHz slot 1 CPU's 800-1000 mHz are rare and a lot of people want them. I would like to score an 850/100 slot 1 CPU myself. The thing your system has going for it is that it will probably last forever. The 440BX chipset is arguably the best chipset ever made. It will make a great backup system, or as suggested a good donation candidate. I am using a PIII 600E CPU (with DSL) and it does everything I need it to do well except play the latest games, which I don't care about anyway.
