This morning I put a AT-2500TX 10/100TX network adapter on my [crowded] Win9x / Win2k build, and surfed Internet with Netscape Navigator v9 😉 I also installed Winamp v1, just to navigate memories <3

Finaly someone with LGA775 as the main desktop! I already started to feel outdated with my 2007 CQ :) You're not alone: I love this platform, although mine is not exactly classic 775 CPU, I modded the processor (and socket) for 775 from 771: Xeon X5450 @3.4ghz 4gb GeIL Black Dragon DDR2 800 MHz CL4 …

Nice! On that note, I'll add my own little experience with Core 2 Duos recently. There's this guy selling modded Xeons around here, specifically the E5450, which is basically a binned Core 2 Quad Q9650 with a TDP of just 80W. He sells them for just 60Euros each and I've been thinking of getting one …
