[tech] PIIIs for Mussel

[David Manchester]

'lo,

Spoke to Craig Sampson @ PSI Australia (Nice bloke, ex- Civil/Mech labs),
who's tracked down a pair or P3-550s for us.
They're about $405 each and will probably sell this week if we don't
snaffle them up.
He said the next slowest is the P3-750 Slot1s at $551 each.

Celeron 600s are $197, though we'd need slotkets and stuff & there'd not
be too much net gain.

I've checked ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/slot1/440bx/p2b-ds/index.txt
... it seems that it supports at least a PIII-600, as that's explicitly
mentioned, which is why I'd encourage us to do the 550s.

Thoughts?

Cheers
