I think I'm gonna build a 64 something at the end of my Soph year (next year) so I can start my school's Junior and Senior tech courses with an excellent computer.
I might experiment with my first new build later this year, maybe in the summer. PIII or lower end Ath XP.

Secondary Desktop/ Server?

Some onboard Vid, E, Sound, etc.
Microsoft Windows XP Pro, soon to be 2000
and it came with the past owner's AIM accounts and saved passwords... people these days.
If you're using dual graphics cards in SLI mode, you're pretty much limited to Intel. But you have to have a pretty damn good reason to spend $900 on graphics cards.

I had trouble with the RAM before... Wouldn't boot. Then I exchanged it for another 512 MB DDR memory. Worked. It boots in less than 40 seconds! I could do some gaming on it too!
I'll probably start doing 'stuff' with it. Its gonna be pretty much my all general purpose PC. Especially in the summer, because my P4 Northwood blows hot air at me heating up the room.
But I"m using my Northwood right now because its winter!
Oh back to the Applebred... But yeah. I love the PC. Its cooool. I tried OCing the FSB to 140 but Fish said that it could damage the expansion slots and cards. So I'm sticking to 1.6ghz.
I really wanna build my own system, but we just found an Ath 1100 and a PIII 500 in the same day. I'm afraid I'll buy the parts and find the same thing in the trash the next day.
