I guess your definition of _very_ old desktop, and mine, are _very_ different. * A quick check of wikipedia says the ICH10 wasn't even /introduced/ until 2008 (the wiki link for the 82801jo/do points to an Intel page, which says it was launched Q3-2008), and it would have been some time after that, likely 2009, that you actually purchased the machine. 2009 is five years ago, middle-aged yes, arguably old, but _very_ old, not so much in this day and age of longer system replace cycles. * It has SATA, not IDE/PATA. * It was PCIE 1.1, not PCI-X or PCI and AGP, and DEFINITELY not ISA bus, with or without VLB! * It has USB 2.0 ports, not USB 1.1, and not only serial/parallel/ps2, and DEFINITELY not an AT keyboard. * It has Gigabit Ethernet, not simply Fast Ethernet or just Ethernet, and DEFINITELY Ethernet not token-ring. * It already has Intel Virtualization technology and HD audio instead of AC97 or earlier. Now I can certainly imagine and "old" desktop having most of these, but you said _very_ old, not simply old, and _very_ old to me would mean PATA/ USB-1/AGP/PCI/FastEthernet with AC97 audio or earlier and no virtualization. 64-bit would be questionable as well. FWIW, I've been playing minitube/youtube C64 music the last few days. Martin Galway, etc. Now C64 really _IS_ _very_ old! Also FWIW, "only" a couple years ago now (well, about three, time flies!), my old 2003 vintage original 3-digit Opteron based mobo died due to bulging/burst capacitors, after serving me 8 years. I was shooting for a full decade but didn't quite make it... So indeed, 2009 vintage system, five years, definitely not _very_ old, arguably not even "old", more like middle-aged. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
