I've never 'showcased' any of my systems yet, so I'm going to share my favourite rig with you guys. It's nothing special but she's a fast little machine (54.4fps in Q3 max sett. @ 768p 😲 ) and extremely rock solid.

PROCESSOR: Intel Coppermine Pentium III 800EB
MOTHERBOARD: Intel CA810E
MEMORY DIMM0: ProMos PC100 256MB SDRAM
MEMORY DIMM1: Micron PC100 128MB SDRAM
STORAGE: Seagate ST310211A 5400RPM 10GB 3.5" IDE
SOUND: CT4780 SBLive! Value PCI /w EMU10K1 Chipset
VIDEO: 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 16MB PCI @ 195/195Mhz
OS: Microsoft Windows ME v4.90.3000

Not my picture, I forgot to take a photo of the case and I'm lazy. 🤣

Yeah its the original one. So far any sticks I've tossed in have worked without issue.

Usually the RDRAM P4 Dells were finicky. Is it bad I know which seller you bought it from based on your picture?

Man i love Dells for their case aesthetics but hate them for their propriety crap like powersupply connector pinouts and then lack of AGP on systems like these;
Though not necessarily a problem when you have a PCI Voodoo card..

Good system none the less.

I was disappointed with the lack of AGP since I wanted to toss in a GeForce 256 at some point. Oh well!

I bought it locally in Canada, so if you do. Small world. 🤣

I'd take a PCI Voodoo over a GF256 any day!
AGP systems aren't hard to build and an excuse for another PC:)

All up I'd say its a well thought out build, Not a fan of WinME but lack of ISA so dos it makes sense, I spose

Thanks. I have a separate machine for DOS so its part of the reason why I went with ME.
