Naw - there's still some life left in that old guy.

I mean I fixed it... so it's not broke.  So I won't fix it.  ;^)

As a virtual server host it's actually pretty competent.  Dual P3 1000's
aren't fast by today's standards but neither are they particularly slow for
this application either.  Besides - if I even do need raw speed I can just
copy the VPC image to my personal machine and run it there for a while (my
workstation is Dual Opterons with four Gig of RAM) - the machine images are
completely transferable between virtual server and virtual PC.

I LOVE virtualization!

Actually I don't think it's bad - I think I just put back in the wrong slot.
It's an old mobo - it uses PC 133 RAM. There were often finicky about the
order that you placed chips.

Yup - and then I think I put it back wrong.  ;^)

But I stress-tested it for 24 hours (albeit with only 2 of the three RAM
sticks recognized) and it ran like a champ.  My only real problem now is
that when it's on it completely hoses my wireless router which is sitting
next to it - I can't get a signal 10 feet away.

Going to have to do some rearranging...
