Odd no one's interested.  I'm running a dual P3 system now based on the 
ServerWorks IIILE chipset and it flies as a server.  Far more throughput than 
a Socket A desktop system setup.  Since it's a rackmount, it's likely a 2U 
and thus will be very _loud_ though.  The 1GB of RAM would be quite nice as 
well, and is likely PC 133 ECC registered.

If it works, it's actually a better deal than the $180 I spent last Fall for a 
desktop with a SuperMicro 370DLE board (maybe it was supposed to be a 
workstation) which I prompted ripped from the otherwise junk system and put 
in a dedicated setup with a new case, PSU, more RAM, and such.

Sigh.
