: 
: The USA... your prices tend to be a lot better than ours. I could can the
: T2P4 but that would also mean I had to can the SIMMs (everything is DIMMs
: now), get an AGP videocard and can the perfectly fine Millenium II (I need
: the extra PCI slot quite badly) and buy a new CPU. Oh, and buy an ATX case.
: In the end that is quite a bit more than $80. Unfortunately.

I like the Tyan "Trinity", S1590AT.  SIMM sockets, DIMM sockets,
highly variable clocks and voltages throughout, AT *or* ATX power,
PS/2 mouse, USB header, IR support.  Works with K6-2 and K6-3 to 500MHz.
1AGP + 4PCI + 4ISA.  Very flexible.
