Rummaging through an old spares box from my storeroom, I found these.
An Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor. 2.6ghz, 2mb of cache. Same silicon as the 6400+, this is like the ultimate in Athlon 64 technology. It hasn't seen the light of day since 2008 when I replaced it with a Phenom.
and
2 sticks of Kingston DDR2 667mhz ram. But not just any old green ram, these are Hynix FP-Y5 chips so they overclock beyond 1000mhz sometimes. Which is good for generic ram.
Sitting down a while, I was taken back to 2006-2007, when this rig replaced my s939 when it got struck by lightning and instead of just replacing the motherboard, I decided to upgrade to one a dem newfangled AM2s. Having a dual core back then made you special like. Also, good times playing Oblivion and The Witcher. Not so good times trying to play Crysis.
I'm sure that I have some other usable things from that period hiding around the house. I'll go look for them and see what else I can dig up for this build. It's good I came across these, cause I really need an XP rig for.... well nevermind, I just need another rig, OK.
