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.

"I rather prefer PC-100 RAM to the newest RAM out there because the joke is on the people who spend thousands of dollars on brand new systems."
Old RAM (and old CPUs) actually cost more than new kit now, because they're not manufactured any more so they have a moderate 'rarity' value. Go to any supplier who sells SDRAM and DDR and compare the prices. As I said, same goes for CPUs; P3s cost a lot more than P4s. Upgrading your old systems would probably cost *more* than sticking an extra half a gigabyte in your new monster Athlon 64. No-one except gamers spends thousands of dollars on brand new systems any more. I just built one for myself that cost CAN$700, would've been less without an expensive Shuttle case and a nice soundcard.
