One is a DeskPro EN-SFF Pentium II 350MHz.  The other 
is a  DeskPro 4000 166MMX, which is now running a K6/2
at 360MHz (using an undocumented jumper setting).  Both
run BL3 perfectly in all modes.

BTW, you should consider downloading the Compaq CMOS setup
floppy (F10 Setup).  It has some settings you may wish to
experiment with.
