Nothing obvious with Google. Nothing on eBay either. How about $18 for a Micron P200 MMX motherboard and CPU?

It might be less aggravating to go such a route than trying to find chips for your board. If not, save up for a new motherboard/system is my recommendation. HTH. Cheers, Scott.

I've got a junker that ain't working, that concievably could have valid chips...

Their business is "obsolete" semiconductors. Referenced in [link\|http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=7603\|this] story in The Inquirer. HTH. Cheers, Scott.
