(And it's a frikkin dell!)
to a...
duron 1ghz @ 1.23ghz
msi nforce
256mb kingmax (to be upgraded to 512 to take advantage of dual-band ddr or whatever it's called)

sweet. I had a msi kt3 at one time. I like that red. ;) I was kinda fond of that msi except it oc'ed for #$%@!. Oh well I guess this epox will just have to do for now.
Nice work, sysfailur.
Gotta love Intel's replaced by AMD's ;)

Hahah well no I don't. Let me tell you a little story of what just happened to me. I was fooling around OC'ing it. Mind you the OC'ing portion of this board SUCKS. You have 100/105/106/111/114/133/140/145/150/157. That's it I think. Well I went to 114 cus I knew that 133 would be too high. There are no multiplier adjustments on this board so it's purely fsb OC'ing. Mind you it's 100x10 for the duron. Well, 114x10 was fine @ default voltage. I got temps of round 38C. I then decided to put it down to 111 because I didn't want it running as warm. Well, to my surprise when I did this.... my multiplier CHANGED to 11 from 10, and so it was now 111x11 which is around 1.23ghz! And the freaky part, it works at this @ normal voltage!! I just played cs for an hour and 1/2. Got the CPU temp up to 42C and it works like a charm. I think I'm just gonna leave it here as it's not causing any problems! I'm really amazed! Hahah!
Aside from that, this board, with all its onboard stuff does rock! The sound is really nice and clear, and w/ onboard lan and onboard video I don't have _ANY_ pci slots or the agp slot used!

Nice looking rig, the red board does look cool and the emptyness of the case is really nice as well.
I had one Q, the card on the bottom, is an ANR (or whatever) what is it used for? Modems and sound cards or just modems?

It's a CNR I think... and it came w/ the nForce. It is used for extra sound stuff. I think it has an optical plug along w/ a digital plug for like 5.1 or whatever.
