It was a cool board. I didnt technically have one, but I built my dad a W2K server on a BP6. I always wanted to hack on it and overclock with it. But after I handed it over, I wasnt allowed to touch it, "you'll burn up my processors." Since he didn't care about overclocking he had dual P2-400s or maybe 450s. It was a beast. He could run SQLServer and compile Delphi apps so hard.

I got my kicks though with a BF6 and a 300A. Those were the times; atleast until the AthlonXPs (AXIA -- anybody?) were released.

The first PC I built myself had an Athlon XP Barton 2500+ and 2x 256mb sticks of DDR2-400. It wasn't top of the line by any means but great bang-for-buck in 2003.
