i have a asus p2b-ds dual slot 1 motherboard. the memory is pc100, so what is the biggest cpu tha uses pc100 memory, and will i see a difference if i use a scsi harddrive over a regular harddrive?

I think the highest they got in Slot 1 was 1.2 Ghz. I doubt you'll be able to get anything that fast to run though. I would E Mail Asus tech support. They could probably tell you the fastest Pentium 3 your board will support. Probably nothing over 600Mhz but you never know.
If you can get a good deal, SCSI would be a lot faster. It might be wise to check to make sure the hard drive you're looking at will work with your SCSI controller though. Hard drives have changed a lot in the last 6 years.

a scsi hard drive and new cpu for that board will cost you almost as much as a new system. much better use of the money to put it towards a low end dell or something similar.

Depends. Those P3's sell for around 5$ a piece on ebay.  As for the hard drive, I think it would help alot since his pc is probably somekind of server.

It has onboard SCSI.

but it wont work with the drives out now, different format. drives are scsi3, that board would be scsi2 at best.
