...for the following setup:

PII 450mhz
Asus P2B-F

Pricewatch has the P-II's up pretty high, but my guess is that it's because no one carries them anymore. Any suggestions?

$101 for a 450MHz P-II is pretty amazing considering you can buy a new 750MHz Duron for only $85. Is there something magical about those processors that I don't know about? Is the preference for Intel that strong, that a three year old processor would sell for more than a brand new one almost twice as fast?

Personally, considering the Duron price, I would not pay more than $125 for the CPU/mobo combination. Before I checked Pricewatch, I would have said $100.
