Some PII motherboards can take PIIIs.

For example, the ASUS P2B BX chipset boards can take PIIIs with 100MHz FSB
(which are getting difficult t  find).

If you can't find Slot 1 processors for these boards, you can get adapters
for FCPGA chips.

Anyone have a pair of 800MHz PIIIs with 100MHz FSB they don't need? I have
a
'spare' P2B-DS motherboard waiting to make their acquaintance!
