I'm piecing together an AMD system from odds and ends. I just got a Duron 1.4Ghz chip when I swapped in a Thoroughbred Athlon XP 2100+ in my dads machine. I have a somewhat broken Azza KT133XT mobo that might work with the Duron at 266DDR FSB (as the manual hits at being possible for "future processsors"); it is missing a heatsink clip nub. It's missing the center one on the non-overhang side (ie opposite from the side that has "Socket 462" imprinted on it). Thus, I am looking for a late generation Duron spec'd heatsink that clips on to the larger two (outer) clip nubs. Or, a mobo&heatsink/fan to use that is capable of 266DDR FSB. I could trade something or pay a little bit for a heatsink from a LUGer to save a bit of hassel before I go digging through the bins at Comp. Swap&Shop or Surplus Exchange..
Best to ask here first!
Thanks, Jon. (of course I'll be running Linux on the finished machine, if I find enough functional parts...)

System pieced! Thanks to Rick Franklin for the tower with the majority of the parts. Now, I've scavenged the HD, RAM and video card from a P4 tower to use in it. Thus, the P4 is up for grabs, to keep the free exchange going:
ATX case: external 4 x 5.25" bays, 2 x 3.5" bays - internal 4 x 3.5" baystack - somewhat dinged in spots, before I got it. Mobo: Intel D845GRG - http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/rg/ CPU: 1.5Ghz P4 Socket 478 w/ slim profile heatsink + fan PS: 350W Codegen switching P4 supply CD: Hitachi CDR-8435
Just add DDR RAM and a HD and you can use it as-is. Add a GPU to get better than the integrated video. Anyway, I don't mind parting it out if several people want different parts, but I'd rather it go as-is to someone. Anyone.
Thanks, Jon.
The P4 is taken, and the Duron + mobo may or may not be - I may end up clearing out another partial machine instead. Anyway, This stuff went pretty dang fast.
Thanks, Jon.
