I just bought an AMD k6-III 400, 256 megs of ram and a Soyo mb saturday
and it works just fine...fast as hell. 

I will post the MB model # when I get home, I don't remember what it is
and I am at work. The board works well w/ Linux and freeBSD... I don't
know about Windows because I having screwed with Windows since about 4
days before 98 came out. 

Check out their website.
