I have at home an old Athlon XP 1800+ 1.5ghz CPU (I think it's socket A - I have the old manual to find and check), I also have a GeForce 4 MX440 64mb too.
Now the thing is, I was wondering if you thought it'd be worth me trying to track down a Motherbord for it (hardest part to find) along with RAM, a case, HDD etc. and seeing how it overclocked or something.
I could do the free thing and use Linux as the sole OS (possibly with win 98 too) seeing as I can use both those free. I don't really want to buy win XP again, just so I can use updates on both computers.
This secondary computer would just be for me to play around with, I may even try some custom case set up. And I'll keep my main computer for my games/work etc.
What do you think?
[EDIT]
Found some socket A motherboards on a local auction website
