I guess it depends on your reasons for keeping all of them? In terms of usability i would personally take the best bits from all of them and combine them into one. But thats because i cant see any need for four very similar machines.

My collections, Of Course. I don't dispose them.

I guess nforce2 chipset is slightly faster but the onboard video is not amazing. And I don't think nforce2 has any LAN driver for win98, if you are running 98. If you are running newer Windows though you might like to loot the slower systems for more DIMMs to build up 768MB or 1GB of RAM.

Did you determine which video card is the fastest? Maybe some of them are 128-bit bus and others are only 64-bit.

I would suggest to bump the memory on each of the four ones then they're fine and you can use them for Linux for example

Let your imagination run free!

I revive this topic 1 year later. What motherboard chipset is better? I have 4 picks: Nvidia NForce 2 Ultra 400, Nvidia NForce 2 IGP, VIA KT400 or VIA KT600? Anyone with experience can say. I will build this PC for:
-games
-work
-entertainment
What chipset is better?

What games? If you want to play DOS games forget the nForce chipsets.

What OSs are you running on these 4 rigs?

I wouldn't put too much faith in the Premier PSU btw. Unless they miraculously improved their build quality, these PSUs are very lightly build and could damage your parts if they fail.
I don't know about the other brands from top of my head but Rexpower is also a very cheap one from what I remember. I remember seeing the Rexpower logo years ago and I had gotten a 300W Premier PSU NOS which caused stability issues with my Celeron 400 build till I replaced it with a second hand PSU of better build quality.

The graphics cards you have in your builds are relatively light for your configurations, but they should at least improve system stability due to these cards being overall quite mature and low in power consumption.

What you could do is combine your 4 rigs into 2, both featuring the Powerlink PSUs. I don't know Powerlink myself but a quick google search told me these were made by (or at least sold as) EVGA PSUs. They should at least be not as bad as the other 2 PSUs or at least that would be my guess.

Pics of your rigs could also help 😜
