Well, it's dual 400MHz PIIs, so I have two processors running with a 100MHz FSB in that box. I'm willing to bet that a SuperMicro P6DGS with dual PII/400s under NT 4 will run rings around your choice of PII/350 based systems. And, yes, I'm quite certain about what the speed of my FSB is, and the capabilities of the motherboard chipset (and most of Intel's and their competitors' chipsets as well.)

>Quick Trivia: At what bus speed does an AMD K6-2 333 run?

The K6-2 333/3DNow runs with a 100MHz FSB on a Super7 chipset motherboard. For details, you might want to look at AMD's technical Overview of the K6-2 or Tom's Hardware Page

I would be a little upset if we bought a bunch of new machines that didn't work with our system...I would be inclined to buy Celeron 333's with BX mainboards and what for a VFP bug fix...then upgrade to PII 400's when the processors cost <$200.
