Savvy Listonians,
I have P5-120 that still performs admirably, but slowly. I want to keep the
full tower, but reach for considerably more speed. I'm thinking about
dropping this little gem into the case:
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/GA6BA.html
This is a brand-name PII board with a Baby AT form factor. Just what
I'm looking for. The tentative plan is to park 128 mb of PC100 sdram in
there, and a PII 300 overclocked to 450. I hear the PII 300 S-Spec
SL2W8 (OEM) and SL2YK (boxed) seem to be the current CPU of
choice -- a real PII that overclocks easily to 504MHz (and some even
faster) at only about a $100 greater cost than a 300A.
Any reason Linux-wise *not* to do this? Any other reasons? ;-))
TIA,
Lance
