    Suspension problems eh? Well, you may as well just start replacing then...

    new (preferably Polyurethane) bushings
    new shocks
    new wheel bearings
    new control arms

    :D;D

    seriously though, what the hell are you talking about? Suspension bridges? I had a dual P3 slot 1 system, and I have no idea wtf you're talking about. Wanna post some pix of a system with them or a description or something?

    well suspension bridges... they go where i have it outlined in orange...they essentially keep the p3 chip on the mobo with screws

    I found this company had them on pricewatch. I looked up their ratings at resellerratings.com and they don't look too bad. They show over 200 in stock, so I would imagine that they should still have a few hanging around.;D

    zipties would work. You could try ebay; if nothing else, buy a couple dead slot1 boards and they should have secc2 retaining clips on them

    the weird part of the chip and the mobo is that i couldnt use the pentium 2 retention thingied, there was nothing to hold it from the top. I mean it went around the CPU, but there was nothing to "click" onto like the ones on the p2s...like, its almost use and pointless to use my p2 retention thingies...
    look at how the p2 looks

    this is the p2..as u can see, there is sumthing on the top of it that clicks itself to the retnetion bracket

    Yeah, P2s used SECC1 and P3s use SECC2 (Single Edge Cartridge Contact) - the 1's had the retaining clip on the sides whereas the 2's used a different clip mechanism. It's a huge pain to find stuff for SECCs anymore..

    Zipties.

    as prime said; it's secc1 vs. secc2; duct tape it! :D
