In early 2006 I built myself a new system which was a S754 Sempron 2600+ with an Asus K8N4E and PCIe (my first PCIe-graphics card). At that time it was a powerful and yet inexpensive combination because S939 was already the popular platform and S754 was regarded as obsolete, but the Sempron overclocked very good.
The board is long gone but I still have the original CPU and whenever I see the board on ebay I have this itch to rebuild the system. But except for nostalgia I just don't see any use for it. For WinXP I'd use a way better system today and for Win98/Win2K PCIe is anything but optimal.
Of course I could build it and let it sit in a case in the attic, but why bother spending time and money on the board just to fill up an otherwise empty tower.
What do you think? Is there anything I'm missing that could make this system useful today?
