That would be a Socket-7 mobo, yes? You might look around
for a pair of matched K6s or something. You'd have to
underclock them, probably, but seems like it would be
worth a try. You can get new K6-500s for < $40, and
I just checked ebay and found a pair of K6-300s for
$5 each.

No doubt someone else will know why this is a terrible
idea...

Cheers,
