I want to avoid retro tax as much as possible. There are some Pentium3 rigs available locally but there is usually very little info on the CPU itself - and windows manager doesn't show the model either.
For example, there's a rig sold for about 80 $ here (Europe) that has a Pentium3 and a Geforce2 MX 440 on board. The seller listed the P3 as "550MHz".
I already have some of the rig pieces (actually, I have the worst one done - that is, a 21" Trinitron CRT) and I also have some of the GPUs (FX 5500 with a 128bit memory lane and MSI 4200Ti, which I purchased for 8$ and 25$, respectively; also a Sound blaster Live! that I found in my drawer). I am missing the rig itself, and probably a good GPU, since FX5500 is weak and the 4200Ti seems to be a lower end model MSI/Medion.
Looking for recommendations. The rig is meant to be a gaming machine for Win95-98 era of games. I already have a 486DX rig so DOS compatibility is not an issue.
