But where's the fun in that?!?!
No wedging the motherboard into the case?
No fanagling the three drive cables I need for my DVDs, CDs, Zip and 2 HDDs?
No pressing so hard on the fan you think you're going to waste the MoBo?!?
No cursing at Microsoft for making an OS that can see there have been
changes and just load the correct parameters, digging out the Install CD and
waiting 40 minutes while it reloads the operating system for the 5th
time?!?!
No playing with clock speeds, freezing the system, resetting the BIOS and
starting over, getting it up and running at mind warping speeds until XP
chokes on it? (Linux just says, OK, 4 GHz? Let's do it!)
Where's your sense of adventure, man?!?!?
(I've had AMD "K" Systems that have run circles around P-IIIs...)
