You got me thinking. ATM I'm upgrading and setting up the OEM PC mentioned above:
M/B: Intel D850GB (OEM variant without audio/LAN)
CPU: Pentium 4 Willamette @ 1.7GHz
RAM: 384MB RDRAM (had 2x64MB; added 2x128MB RD-800)
GFX: Prolink GeForce3 Ti500/64MB (originally an MSI GF2MX)
SND: Sound Blaster Live! (originally SB128/AudioPCI-alike)
HDD: WD 40GB (in place of a failed DiamondMax 30GB)
NIC: NetGear FA-311v2 [Realtek RTL8139D] (replaces a 56k winmodem)
Removed a Creative DXR3 it had inside because I can't seem to find a passthrough cable anywhere, at least not at a reasonable price. Since it's a WinME box, is it worth adding a V2 in there to have Glide compatibility, or does a wrapper such as dgVoodoo1 play nice? Don't really know because while it does have front and back fans, it certainly appears to work at a bit higher temperatures than the P3 box, wouldn't want to risk a 3dfx card 😵 also the GF3 has such clear output I would rather not spoil via a passthrough cable... It all does generate a lot of heat.
