INTEL PENTIUM III 450 CPU
INTEL BX MB W/ 512K CACHE

Great, no complaints their.

64MB PC 100 SDRAM

Eh.  Not a big fan of PC100 SDRAM,  it can be flaky,  I'd prefer something like
EDO or maybe even ECC,  but it will probably work.  Ask how they get to 64MB (4
16's, 2 32s, 1 64) so you can add more without having to remove anything.
 

Totally off-topic, and  maybe off-base, but can EDO or ECC actually
do 100mhz bus?  I thought that stuff only went to 66.
