My Soyo Dragon, one of my favorites, a project that turned out well. I've played through Max Payne and Half Life on this system. After I had recapped it, I found there was a mod that could be done to allow the use of Palomino core CPUs (fellow Vogons members helped me track down some information that had been lost). I tried an Athlon mobile with it, but it was hit or miss on POSTing with that CPU so I gave up on it.

I hadn't powered this thing on in a while - it takes longer to POST than any other motherboard I've ever had. It doesn't seem to be a problem, just a quirk with this board, but you start to get nervous when you hit the switch and hear nothing but the fans for longer than you'd expect.

Need to select 1M in SuperPi before running the benchmark.

Ah, I didn't notice, I've never used that benchmark before, thanks!
