Yeah, I’m curious what the P/N and FRU are for your L2 Cache COASTs as well?

IBM Altiva and Model M, AWE64 soundcard, and TMNT poster and merchandise... Neato. I used to have some of those same toys as a little kid.

Testing some alternative OSes por distros on that rig may also be interesting to see (OS/2 Warp, NetBSD, some GNU+Linux even)

I upgraded to a Pentium 200 MMX (which can only run at 166 MHz on this system), but I rigged a 120 mm Noctua fan to blow air down from the top of the heatsink to keep the CPU and surrounding components constantly cool. Seems to work well.

Have you managed to find an L2 Cache COASTs stick for your system... I've also been searching for one, but these seem to be very hard to come by.
