Just a question, but have you thought about using a Slocket and a
Flip-Chip PIII?  Most people I know with Slot 1 boards do that.  Example
(though, I don't know this person and give no assurances on his links):

and Intel's waiver in re Slockets:

Of course, if possible, a Slocket + Celeron is much cheaper (would be
about $50 for a Celeron 1.1A and a Slocket retail), so if your board
supports Celeron that might be the way to go.

(Heck, some overclocker here probably has an old Slocket lying around.)
