This is what I'm after.  I would prefer to do this on my current
desktop just for convenience, but nothing has come up that sounded
like it fits so far.  Weird that no one wants to slow their computer
down, I mean what's up with that?

It occurs to me that I have a 1200MHz Celeron with an Asus motherboard
and what appeared to be a highly adjustable BIOS: I can probably get
it to run at 200MHz(?) and that might do the trick.
