Meh. If it had been one of these that you threw away then, yes, I would have offered my condolences.

Oh, I do have some 30-pin SIMMS around...they don't take up much room, therefore they get to stay around longer

Oldest PC I have that is in use is a p2-450, 128MB ram, 10GB hard drive.
It runs 24/7 and has an uptime of months at a time, only reset because I had to move it.
Running pfsense it acts as my router, firewall, content filter, and the power supply in the pc also powers my voip adapter and cable modem.
Even with 200+ torrent connections it doesn't reach 50% on the cpu usage.
Great use for an old pc.

How many of you are even old enough to know what a VL-bus mobo is?

/raises hand.
You're not really old unless you installed RAM expansion in the form of DIP chips.

I actually have a similarly configured PC (except p3-450) for same purpose.
