I have one question for early preparation
Is PIII Tualatin works with i820 mobo via PowerLeap slotkets?
First few results in Google, sir. Apparently, it can work, but is problematic and only select cases being truly successful.
I don't know that you would really want to do that. i820 requires RDRAM and RDRAM is not known to work well with Pentium III. RDRAM works a lot better with Pentium 4.
Afaik it should work. i820 boards with rimms are not that bad and were made with 133Mhz cpu's in mind. It's difficult finding a good slot 1 mobo that does 133 native.
The boards you should avoid are the i820+MTH+Sdram combination, they are not stable.

Fortunately, my HP Vectra VL600 doesn't has MTH 😀
But what's wrong with VIA 133 Slot 1 mobo?
Nothing's too wrong with Via chipsets for that era, but Intel chips tend to perform better on all levels.
