Still deciding. Clifford Technology (http://www.computer123.com/) currently has the PR440FX on special for $88. The board with two 166MHz/512 P6s, VRM, fans/heatsinks is available for $322. I just ordered two of the board/CPU combos today; I can let you know how it turns out. They also have pretty good prices on individual P6s.
