I've found that about the P3s being gone. OS is dual boot with Fedora and
Win ME. This is another advantage of Linux, i.e. not being tied to the
motherboard.

Hate to tell you but most P3's are gone. My father runs a computer business
and works with hospitals/schools/etc. and I think they all threw out their
old P3 systems. Could try one of those "trade shows". Or one of those
small computer shops. A lot of times they advertise computers for like
$80.00 or something and it has an old P3 in it.
But what OS you running?
I swapped out a new motherboard on Ubuntu 7.03 and it worked fine. Detected
the new bridges, usb stuff, etc with no problem.
