Pentium Pros are sexy, indeed.
It's funny how the cost of these things has changed. Several years ago, I needed a replacement Proliant 800 (dual PPro 440FX) motherboard so I got one on eBay for some small amount of money. The guy was moving and wanted to get rid of stuff, so he also tossed in a pair of VRMs and a pair of 200MHz 512KB CPUs for free. Today that would never happen - Pentium Pro parts have gotten expensive. I wish I had bought a more "normal" socket-8 motherboard back then.
Those 1MB chips are awesome, but kind of scary at the same time. I like that Tyan board.
