It depends in what do you want to use that computer for. 2001 is really really old ... Well which motherboard does it have ?

Pentium 1 were only producted till 1999. The maximum Mhz it can handle without overclock is 300 mhz. That's 0.3 Mhz you can't do anything with that board just forget about that ideia.

It depends on what parts are broken. What is definite you will be unable to buy new parts except for maybe an Ethernet card. Which part of Malaysia are you living in? I know wthat in KL you can get second hand parts if you care to scour aroud. If the motherboard is not working there is nothing that you can do about it. There are also used power units. The Ethernet card was found in Seremban. It uses the ISA bus. Maybe you can find it in KL too. Have you been to Low Yat Plaza and Imbi Plaza? Another alternative is to ask around. Your friends may have something that you need, and they are not using it. A friend of mine gets a used free PC by asking for it.
