Doug,

I notice you have a 200mhz cpu in your 'fashion wearable', do you have any 
problems with heat?
I have a 233mhz intel pentium MMX, and it's getting waaaaay too hot. 
Off-list, Philip Tung-Yep has
suggested that I get a later stepping model AMD cpu or a laptop specific 
socket 7 cpu, and
clock them back, as 233 is the limit on this board. Do you think that would 
work if I got say a
400 or 500mhz AMD K62 or 3 and popped it in clocking it back to 233? (I 
can't think of problem
myself, provided that my board can supply the correct voltages). I 
hypothesize that given the
underclocking of a higher MHZ rated CPU that core temperatures should come 
down quite a bit.
What are your thoughts?
