whats funny is that these P3s will outperform P4s up to about 2.4ghz
Always wanted a dual P3 system for running a server. They can run off low-wattage PSUs, and can run pretty well under passive heatsinks (ran a 1GHz P3 under a passive 'sink just fine, with a couple of 120mm fans in the case creating airflow).
P3-S, great chips.
OMG LETS PUT QX9770's in dem
Loved The P3 era. Still have my Dual P3 system somewhere lying around. I need to make it as a server instead of the P4 system i have now.
