    Lol Microsoft

    I remember paying $199 for a retail copy of 98SE just to get away from 95... For me it was almost like a cure for cancer. I could actually use my computer for a few months without having to format and reinstall the OS.

    Core unlocking, easy overclocking - non-windows machines?

    Just built 2 AMD rigs with Biostar A880G+ motherboards and all thats required its making a settings change in the bios. Just set the Advanced clock calibration to AUTO and bingo! 4 Cores!

    Heh I just "refurbed" a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ rig I built for a friend at least 10 years or so ago. At the time, it was top of the line. 512 mb DDR PC 2100 memory, EPOX 8kHA+ mobo, 40 gig HD, GF3 Ti500 video card. Actually to be honest to surf the web, look at porn, and check his email its all...
