I ran mostly fine at 450 at 2.0 for several months, although I did
have ocassional lockups. I tried it at 464 at 2.1 and it worked fine
with ocassional lockups so I put it back to 450 at 2.1 and haven't had
a lockup since.
That's on my box. The NT server machine I just built is running at
450 at 2.0 just fine, has been for a week now with no lockups.
I still have one more to build and it will either be Linux or Solaris,
haven't decided which. I already have a Linux box at work running on
a 166mmx and it does an OK job for what I do with it. If the rumors I
heard about free personal use of Solaris are true I'll probably give
it a whirl.
All of mine are retail versions so the third one should do it at 2.0
or 2.1 at most.

Did you say you liked Matrox? I'll trade you a Marvel G200 for that
Metroliner. :) If you don't want that I could probably swing a
Voodoo II. I wouldn't bother with Voodoo 3 if I were you. V2 SLI
will do just as well, and the upcoming TNT SLI will do better.

Slot 1 yes. Lower core voltage, though. 1.85 I think. BX6-2
supports it out of the box. Might have to update the bios on the BH6
to do it.

:)
We're going to put together a dual Celeron 400 rig at work in a couple
weeks. Run Linux and dedicated Quake2 and Half-Life servers on it.
