My basement is like a mortuary with the remains of computers all lying in state, waiting and hoping for a new lease on life. But what is there to do with the K6s, the Celerons, and Pentiums of the past. It seems nothing short of a miracle would bring these ghosts back to life.

Seems like people here, do not run with computers over 1 gigaherz....
I read the article in a way, that i thought that the writer would have numerous mainboards and so, in his home.
From my perspective, and were i come from (denmark).
An computer with a sempron 2200, 256mb ram and 40 gigabyte harddrive, is being sold for 2000 danish kroners (that is 357 dollar).
So for me, the only reason to keep computers, that are older than 1200mhz is to run it as an firewall...
That is why i say that we have to junk old hardware, if there is more than 2 complete systems in the home...
I will rather buy a new system, than keep the old.
I will junk or give away, my old hardware...
And by the way....
Why have systems that are so old, that u can't even run windows XP smoothly????
