I also have this CPU (60MHz) but I don't have working mobo for it. It have different socket than newer pentiums. But it's a nice piece of silicon (and gold :)

also have one machine with Asus mobo and 440FX chipset. Yes PPro has fullspeed cache but maybe there was some wait-state. There was models with 256k, 512k and 1MB (tripple chip) version. PII seems like a step-back in evolution. They created slot1 because they was not able to place all silicon to one chip but the housing was expansive so they quickly moved to S370. BTW intel is anoying with his socket update policy, there was many cases when they changed few pins and forced milions users to trash their relative new mobos. Last case was LGA1155 (sandybridge) vs LGA1156. AMD made much less socket and support them much longer. It bothering me because new mobos lacks some esential peripherals for me like PCI, COM, LPT, IDE...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
