Almost looks like I'm staring down my board. I've always been nervous that overclocking any of my PCs would shorten their lifespan, even at stock voltage. At least you're not fighting an Aureal to the death right now. I'll never bring myself to purchase a Creative product. Too bad it won't see any use!

Of all the PC's I own retro and modern this is the only one I have OC'ed mostly for the same reasons you gave. I guess with this one I just wanted to push the SS7 I suppose it helps that I wouldn't really care if this one burst into flames. Well maybe a little...

at 560mhz I can get it to post but its pretty unstable, usually crashes loading Windows. The heatsink/fan combo isnt stock for it but its nothing really special just maybe slightly beefier then the stock heatsink/fan.

I actually have a Diamond Monster MX300 I considered putting in it but I figured I had an ISA slot may as well use it. I agree, its a shame It won't really see any use but I just cant think of a real reason to use it when I have a few other better and more refined options. I actually have that issue with a few other machines I have sitting around namely my duel 1.4ghz tulatin machine

Came across a cheap Voodoo 3 AGP card at the flea market yesterday and swapped it out with the TNT2. I know its capable of less color depth and has half the RAM but I read the V3 plays a better with AMD chips and takes advantage of 3Dnow!

So you're not planning to time machine it or anything? 😀

not really any point. I already have more refined and specific PC's for Win95 98 and XP.

this one was just kinda built cause I was curious about the k6-III+. Its really a nice "jack of all trades" machine I think but honestly I probably won't bother with it much. same with my duel Tulatin machine.

I may use it if I ever do anything with video capture though since the V3 does have that S-video out.
