Really enjoying the XP machine. This is the basic setup of one of the 98 machines. Yet to finalise and put an OS on it. Also awaiting the second voodoo2. Currently a p3 866 with a gf2 mx and a voodoo2 with a sblive. It's in a jonesbo case as I am having a very hard time finding beige cases. Also a …

Oh yeah. X-fi extreme music. I'll put that in the XP machine and start installing games etc tonight. It's running very stable so far.

Thanks. Some good advice. Was trying to fit in what I had, for now. The 5200 it seems doesn't want to work, so I'll keep looking for a bargain to replace it. I'll hang on to the 5200 and try to fix it later just to have a working FX.

Hi! I'll make my first thread here showing off this labor of love. I always wanted a Pentium Pro as a teenager, it was weird, huge, outclassed, beautiful.
