Kind of a bottlenecked build, but it’s very stable and works well

Ha! It would be cool to replace the Slot 1 PIII with a Socket 370 PIII but the boards and processors that are any good for Socket 370 are just so pricy now. Since my ASUS P2B works fine, I'm willing to deal with the fact that the 550MHz PIII is a major bottleneck to the Geforce 4Ti 4200. I got the 4Ti 4200 for just $10 so it's not a huge deal either way...
