Excellent resource!  Thanks for posting this!

BTW: Since the PIII's run in slightly older motherboards, it's
probably worth pointing out that a number of the Intel chipsets
are known to have problems with PCI bus master arbitration when
you have more than 2 PCI bus master devices in the box; the one
I definitely recognized as being a problem was the NX, but I had
also heard there were issues with the FX and the ServerWorks III,
as well.  Checking "Tom's Hardware" is probably a good idea.  I
didn't see this mentioned in any of the "Notes"/"Comment" sections.
