I will have an AMD500 K6-2 (IIRR), ATX motherboard, and possibly some RAM available in about 2 weeks. I'm in east Mesa. If that helps.
I am running Fedora Core 5 on this AMD500 / 384Mb RAM and 2 - 20Gig HD's. Running X right out of the box is ok.
With a little tuning I think it could rock!
Unless your project is to get the 100Mhz sys running.

It also says that the size of it is 500Mhz
