I dunno,  I'll have to look.  That board with the caps has a CPU with it,
riveted heatsink with fan on one end,  long part number with no speed
apparent- 80523PY3350512PE SL2U3 - I'm guessing that's a 350.  Got one
other board here with a 450.  Also a couple of Socket 7 boards in ATX, 
probably 3 or so of them,  with I think P200s in 'em.  The Dell I just got
a hold of not long ago I finally got around to firing up last night and it
has a P-II 333 in it.  I haven't looked at the Compaq and HP yet.

Looks like the Celeron box I'm currently using with linux *may* perform
better if I stuck that 450 in there,  but I need to see how the board the
450 is currently in compares with the one the Celeron is currently sitting
in,  which is limited to 384MB of ram by design.  Lots of stuff to figure
out here...
