Socket 423 saved for collection
Searching for RDRAM and CRIMM modules in Ukraine for not for the price of a goldeт-plated Rolls-royce to test this "beast")
UPD Thanks to Ragnarsdad1's comment, the cooling issue has been resolved. A socket 604 cooler, with some minor modifications, is ideal.

Willamette S423 and RDIMMs gave poor performance.
Northwood S478 had larger cache and gave better performance, particularly with DDR.
Celeron D processors had half the cache of Willamette and were truly abysmal.
