I was hoping to reach 1.5 GB of memory but can handle 1 GB. Might upgrade to an Athlon XP 2600+ one of these days; hoping that nothing more than the CMOS battery needs to replaced on this anytime soon. The CMOS battery on the other workstation using a A7V133 lasted a good while until a few months back. I definitely love these ASUS motherboards.
This works beautifully for all of my audio work; the only problems I have had over the years is the lack of storage space and problems with crashing hard drives (other system), both internal and external. Those f*&(^%ing WD MyBooks are worse than the IBM deathstar drive that died on me years back.
edit: changed wording
Good point with the dual/quad core thing - was aware of it but never think of it. I agree with the 8 year mark of ancient, just a different perspective: my definition of "old" would be the 333 Mgh freecycle clunker I have in storage for the kids, and "ancient" would be the Gateway 2000 486 DX2 66 MGHZ I recall fondly. Anything with SATA/PCEI slots would be "new"
