Processor is dead

My processor in my 8887 died on me. Guess it overheated one too many times. I am looking into buying a new one. I had the Pentium 3.06Ghz. I have since moved to using a desktop, and use my laptop when I travel. I am wondering what processor would be better.

A 3.06 Ghz Cleron http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819112199

or

2.8 Ghz Pentium
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116180

I figure these are half the price of the original 3.06 Pentium. The only downside I see is no Hyper-threading. That is not bad though since I did not have hyper-threading enabled.

Let me know what you all think.

Yeah, I'm not really sure either. I'd email tech support and see if they can suggest options.

My current 3.06 proccesor is. http://processorfinder.intel.com/scr...sp?sSpec=SL6S5
I did some more research and found the right one. http://www.starmicro.net/detail.aspx?ID=121 I guess good ole Newegg doesn't sell these old beasts.

Thanks for the sanity check guys.
