From what I'm reading in the stuff I pulled off the net the other day the
board apparently does support 500 and 550MHz chips.  Also K6-3,  if I can
find one,  would be even better yet as it has on-chip L2 cache making the
stuff on the MB L3,  and allowing me to use a lot more ram in those DIMM
sockets...

Looks like I got lucky with this one,  it has some potential.  Now if it
just keeps on working...!    :-)
