Dell isn't going to have a P3 500 unless you buy something refurbished. All of their current systems with P3's are 667MHZ and up. The same will be true with pretty much any other major manufacturer, such as Gateway, Micron, or Compaq. Most stopped building systems with 500MHZ P3's a few months back, or more in some cases.

Your best bet is to look around and see what you can find. Also, compare prices of a PIII 500 machine that you do find with a comparable machine with a higher clock speed, you might be suprised.
I dealt with someone the other day who had a price on a P3 550 system from a local shop that built their own systems. I was able to set him up with a 733MHZ at the same price.

Such a list would belong more in the General Harware forum. Don't be surprised if your thread eventually migrates there.

definitely go to general hardware.

arstechnica has their 3 tiered system recommendations.

and anandtech has had articles too.

read them, then see what is going on at general hardware (we need a price, and what you want to do with it (programming, graphics (video editting, 3d modeling, CAD, photo manipulation), cracking (the legal kind), etc)
