So, I've got my p200mmx SS7 rig, and now finally rebuilt my pIII933 rig, but I've got a p3-500 just sitting there and I don't like unused parts so, what should I do with it?

The p200 covers mostly late DOS and early windows stuff through 97 or so, the p3 can cover up to about 2001. Is it even worth building up a machine for the middle chip?

I was thinking of building it up specifically as a voodoo3 rig, as the parts are roughly contemporary. I just can't think of a reason to need it beyond the thrill (pain) of building up yet another machine. The same problem exists with the two K6-2 chips I have, a 475 and 500mhz variety.

What would you all do with the middle machine considering what I've got bookending it?

Personally, I'd use it with a Voodoo 2 or a Voodoo 3 and play glide games on it 😁

I'm going to stick a couple of V2s in SLI into the 933 machine.

I COULD use it for all that other stuff, but then, I could stab myself in the balls with a rusty spoon and it would probably be less painful.
