That last sentence brought back some memories for me, like when the ABIT BP6 motherboard came out (it was the first of its kind). I just HAD to have one, so I got one and stuck a pair of 500 MHz Celerons in it. That thing was sooooo faaaast! It was so much more powerful than my previous machines (a 486SX/25 w/ 4 MB of RAM and then a P100 w/ 32 MB of RAM)! I remember putting it together and wondering "how am I ever going to use this machine at anything near its full potential?"

This is a great reminder (to me) that, even though it doesn't seem like it sometimes, technology really does change so damn fast.



I had one too, and it WAS fast! I built it from parts I got at the Oakland Computer Show. It was my beloved "duallie". :)
