they prob made 100mhz p3s too, not of interest to me though :)

FWIW, they did.

My farm has two dual PIII 1GHz systems of a planned four (Gigabyte
GA-6VTXDs) running as internet servers and running S@h at idle priority.
They're mildly overclockable but I generally have them running as rated.
Each processor typically completes a WU in about 9 1/2 hours.

The mobo is capable of accepting the FC-PGA2 Tualatins but replacing four
new processors just isn't worth the performance increase at this point.

The system specs are online here for anyone who's interested:
