Wish I could say the same.  The only computers I find in dumpsters are XTs
and 286s.  Bleh.

K6 chips aren't easy to find around here, and when I do find them, they
cost some fairly serious money (say $38-$50 for the chip you
mentioned).  However, they at least can be had on ebay cheaply.  Still
keep meaning to get one for my sister (she has a P200 on a mobo that will
take at least a 333).
