You might look at: <http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/category/10192>.
For that matter, I find 578 listings on eBay under category
Home->Buy->Computers & Networking->Desktop & Laptop Components
->CPUs for Desktop PC->Intel->Pentium III

But I would ask why you are anticipating a loss of OS and software
configuring.  Linux does not do configuration stuff the way Windows
does, and generally adapts itself to what it finds at boot time.
