Heh, I'm in Indianapolis, so pickup looks to be a long sojourn. I was
closer last week (we were in Myrtle Beach) but alas, vacation time is
now over.

It has win98 on it presently, not using it at all. You get a free
win98se (I think it's SE) OS with the system.

Kyle, I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I'm in the UK and we are
several weeks behind.
It is a pity that the Atlantic Ocean is in the way of easy collection,
and that I am up to my neck in equipment already, otherwise I'd be very
tempted, but thanks for the offer.

The successor to my late lamented 503+ is an Asus a7n8x-x - it has
served beautifully for not far short of four years, and that I think is
a pretty good result.

Interesting, since I have 2 A7N8X-DLX 2.0 mobo/systems, both are solid
as a rock performers. One is my gaming rig, the other is my work rig,
both are nice systems.

Another plus point is this here unlocked Barton-core Athlon 2800+,
purchased at the same time as the m/board, which overclocks willingly,
but I keep it well below the Max.
(Overclocking is a frightful consumer of time, but a terrible hard habit
to shake off.)

Very interesting. I see that quite a few of these boards can be found
on eBay. Is there a single "best" CPU for the A7N8X-DLX or do you use
different CPUs in your rigs? Are board versions earlier that 2.0 to be
avoided?
