See if you can return it for credit - The amount more you would be paying for a P3 CuMine would probably outweigh the cheap price of the board.

If you can, get you a Duron. You know you want one. 1Ghz AND board for less than 90 bucks these days.

Lets just call that constructive....persuasion. I have an old Asus CUBX board sittin around in my house, and I cant find a use for it. I could pop a coppermine in it, but that would be a waste of money to buy a coppermine P3 just because I have the board handy, since thier still relatively expensive.

Not sure what (if anything) you have against AMD, since you seem to stay away from talking about considering the Duron as a viable solution, but if your looking for a cheap, mid-high performance solution, you cant beat the Duron.
