Man all this p4 & ghz stuff is making my stomach churn a bit.. /me needs to upgrade bad.... 8-)

Dual boot Win98SE/Mandrake 8.0
Abit BE6-II (BX chipset) mobo
PIII-450 (SL35D)
256 megs pc133 SDRAM
GeForce256, 32mb
SBLive value
Altec ACS-5 Speakers(2)
ATA66 controller (onboard)
Maxtor 13gb ata66 (master)
WD 40gb ata100 (slave,obviously @ 66mb/s)
Intel EtherExpress 16TP (currently)
Hauppage WinTV card (works great in Linux too)

Currently have 3 other PC's lesser than mine, networked using a 3COM 8 port hub. My "gateway" machine is connected to a Motorola CyberSurfer (RR), & routing is handled via a software router. Long Live Nat32!!!

MOHAA runs pretty well @ 800x600 with most things set to medium. Very playable to me & *still* looks great.

Looking forward to the day I am able to upgrade tho... My next mobo & chip will most likely be AMD/Via now that they have the Athlon/Thunderbird etc.. The PIII was my first Intel chip since my 286 daze.. I bought it because the K6-3/400 totally pissed me off. But I really didn't like the way frigging Intel tried to ram Rambus down our throats. Thanks to amd/via we still have SDRAM & now ddrsdram. And I'm not here to argue, that's just my opinion..
