The P-II is not a powerhorse, its a marketing plot by intel, period.
If you want a true powerhorse go get the new P6 with 1M L2 cache
and get a decent Motherboard and put 2-4 of them in there, THAT
will kick butt, the P-II is just a bad joke...
PS: You might get adapter boards for the TYAN that will allow you
to but P6's in there instead of the P-II's, I don't know however
if this works "for real"
