I've got an old AMD (500MHz.) rig I could not even get Windows 98 SE to load
on....If you all like, AND we are doing thursday night, AND I can make it in
(still up in the air on BOTH counts), I'll bring in whats left proc, MOBO, Case
and PS.
Ended up giving the lady the old alton Dual PIII, I threw together from parts
from the warehouse...on BEHALF of FreeGeeks, of course, as she recently lost
her job, but got a stimulus grant for school, and is attending now.

If you need play boxes ask for them NOW. There are a few PII's and P3's in the
333mhz area... Deman hasn't made it to them yet...
