I found a place that says they can sell matched sets, and there's a
person with 5 same-stepped PPros on the Yahoo auctions, too.
I imagine the other place could maybe get six.

The URL of the place that says they sell matched sets is

Of course, I could get more bang for less buck using a BP-6 with
dual Celerons, but six-way SMP would be kinda cool anyway  :-)
