Hi Robert,

I've been looking into this also.  I found a neat thing offered every so often on eBay called the "Renaissance" adapter.  It's made by the company "Powerleap" (I have a different Powerleap 1.3Ghz Slot 1 adapter in my old 440BX PC).  This goes into an open PCI slot & basically takes over everything from the original mobo.  It will bring you up to- their suggestion- an AMD 450mhz CPU w/decent amount of SDRAM.  I can't promise that there will be one there when you look but check back every once in a while.  I think the set up I've described ran in the neighborhood of $80.
Here's one on the site now:

Just an idea,
