so get an HX board (specifically, look for the ASUS P55T2P4 rev 3.0+)
which supports the massive amounts of ram, and the cache needed to
coache it all...
the mobos support up to the 233 right now...and with adaptation mabye
even the next gen .25 micron chips

these boards can be got for around 125-130.  they are the _best_ and
stablest...i am running at 83 mhz with my old 60 ns EDO dram.  no
probls.

an intel 233 would make a better Linux box than a more pricey P2.
