I had my K62/350 with 256megs ram, and my TNT2 Ultra around that time and had it for awhile, then i went to a 1900+ in 2001 which was such a big change at the time.

I've been on AMD for the past decade (aside from two short stints with a P4 Willie and a dual PIII), so at 2000 or so I was prolly running my K6-3 chip on a Via mobo made by Gigabyte. But I had a gig of RAM even back then, that computer was pimpin' for sho. :D
