I have a dual Pentium II 250 Mhz ASUS board that I just got back up as a
server. I can't even remember when I bought it; 1998, 1999. Before it
had a SCSI host card and would stomp the bogomips out of the 1.4 GHz AMD
with ATA drives I am using for a workstation right now.
So 10+ years for that ASUS board.
