But then you will need very expensive RAM and a decent mobo, which if you bought the bits as a barebones unit would be up there with the more expensive chips you are trying to emulate.

You don't need expensive. The multiplier is unlocked, has nothing to do with FSB and good Ram. I got a stick of Kingston Value Ram PC2100 ($30 at the time) and I hit 2gigs with my $47 (at the time) TBred A with a $39 refurbed Abit kD7 with just multipler and 1900mhz and some change with FSB....
Not to shabby for $116 shipped!
