I currently have a new build using an Asus P5PE-VM board as a base.
The Plan is to use a core 2 duo processor as a base after disabling one of the cores.
Originally I was going to use an e5800 but it doesn't look like the board supports it.
Originally I read "somewhere" that 98SE doesn't do well (or requires some sort of patch\workaround) for any e6xxx core 2 duos, which is why I went with the e5800 to begin with.
I will attach the cpu support list here but it pretty much goes from:
Core 2 Duo E4700 (2.6GHz,800FSB,L2:2MB,revG0)
to
Core 2 Duo E6300 (1.86GHz,1066FSB,L2:2MB,rev.B2)

Should I just go with the e4700 and call it a day?
