i run vpnd on a 486 cpu at 100MHz with 20mb ram. you'll be fine with the p166.

nothing specific in the manual. try turning 'halt on errors' to 'no errors' (as
you said before) in the 'standard cmos setup' of your boards bios. this disables
keyboard errors.
vga may be bit of a problem. your board will probably beep a few times but then
boot anyway. just try running it without graphics card.

you could use the power supplys standby signal to trigger a relay that shorts
the 'ATX power switch' connector on the keyboard (this will emulate the use of
the power switch without disabling it completely). you'll need to put a
capacitor between the relay and the standby signal to limit electrical current.
some may find this crazy. some may have more sophisticated hacks.
