To think I thought I was the only one still surfing the net with one of these. I had to build myself a new P4 3.4ghz for my music and graphics/games but for general web surfing and the odd bit of cd burning, and old games, it still does a good job.

I wouldnt reccomend trying to overclock any of these. I tried it once and it doesnt like it.
The k62 seems to run fine at 533 but not anything higher for me.
As for the motherboard.... I believe there were some that supported both AT and ATX power supplies. Mine does this but I currently have it on an old AT PSU.
I think the best bet would be a new motherboard or ebay if you are after another same processor.
