For fun, I dug up all my old parts that have been collecting dust and put them together!<BR><BR>Technically amazing specs: <BR>AMD k6 300Mhz... <BR>ASUS sp97v motherboard capable of UDMA33... <BR>80MB of EDO-RAM... <BR>A fancy black 3 1/2" 1.44MB floppy drive that sometimes doesn't work... <BR>Sound Blaster 16 Value (ISA)... <BR>A 200 watt AT power suply... <BR>An AT case with three 5 1/4" bays and 2 3 1/2" bays, which is about ready to crumble... (The faceplate falls off sometimes)<BR>I 4GB UDMA33 Maxtor hard drive... <BR>A broken power button... <BR>A dead CMOS battery... <BR>Yellow stained plastic... <BR>Riva TNT (PCI)... <BR>A 13" Compaq monitor that has a max screen resolution of 1024x768, which just never dies... <BR>It runs very stable!<BR><BR>Absolutely wonderful! An abomination... The thought of that old sound card still working is terrifying and wonderful...

HAHA! cool. That machine would have kicked like 4 years ago or so.

Just for the sake of doing so, maybe I can overclock it!<BR><BR>It'd be weird, though; everything's onboard, and the manual only gave the multiplier settings up to 266Mhz. I don't even know if there are memory timing settings...
