Just out of curiosity, if you were to install, oh, I dunno... 10.2.8 then Firefox2, on that machine, how many bounces might it take to load, compared to 10.2 on another machine, and how long would it take to load, compared to the other machine. (two important questions: are dock bounces a valid benchmark, and how long would it take to launch firefox2. 
)
Anyway, cool that it did eventually work. It might be a better idea to put an actual L2 cache in than another processor that won't be used. I know that L2 caches make a huge difference, and a 300MHz can be the most efficient in the world (603 are pretty efficient) but without cache... it has to wait for the rest of the system.
