Googling the HDA part number for the one on the left would indicate that it is a 40GB drive. Could be a fake or have hacked firmware to indicate a much higher size. Do a surface test on it and see what happens when it crosses the 40GB mark.

I feel your frustration, I had a tremendous amount of trouble installing 98SE with my Abit NF-7. So much trouble in fact that I gave up after about a dozen re-installs. I still have the 98SE cd-key committed to memory after all these years.

It should have a label somewhere giving the Voltage, current draw and supply frequency. If in doubt, don't plug it in.

Ditch the bracket and grind the corner off a standard ATX card. (If you don't mind ghetto PC mods.)

If you're not afraid of butchering a video card, those machines can accept a wide variety of AGP cards. Edit to add: My one that I got rid of a few years ago had a P3-850, 512MB RAM, TNT2-M64 video card. Was bought as a P2-350, 128MB RAM and onboard video.

Yep, using Waterfox. Fast, reliable and doesn't seem to get patched too frequently either.

Strange, I used to have a TUSL2-C and it didn't have onboard vga or audio.
