i have now 3 the same chips (even bought same time, there was 2 plugged,
3-rd where somewhere else before). it was 733/133 now it's 366/66.
as it's enough power for now it's not a problem. but at 133 or 100 it
crashed after max 1 week.

hmm.. you didn't mention windoze ;)

have about 30 motherboards varying from 486/25 ISA or VLB to 486/80, about
100 megz of 9 bit RAM, about 200 MB of 32/36 bit RAM, about 20 40MB disks
(for routers), bunch of VLB and ISA gfx cards (and must say ISA Tseng
ET4000 is cool).

and i'm not trying to sell as it's not worth of selling
