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.
