I'm running it on an Asus motherboard, without any troubles.
It will be faster than a P133 (although I'm not sure it will be as fast as
a P166) for things which don't require floating-point computations (it
is a nice processor for a network server, or to run gcc).
However, the math copro is as slow as a P100.

You can go with it if you don't need higth floating-point performances.
