As a high-value, low-budget workhorse, my BP6 was awesome. It had its share of problems for sure but once working, it's been rock solid. Old motherboards never truly go away
Retiring my BP6... well sort of.

Retiring my BP6... well sort of.
by lungster » Tue Aug 03, 2004 4:16 pm
Well after many years of faithful service, I'm finally retiring my BP6 (2x C366 @ 505). It took the better part of 2 days to back-up and migrate everything to a dual P3 Xeon/1Ghz box (hey, gotta stay with duallies!). But wait... it's not fully retired yet. I plan on turning it into a part-time Linux development system, though with my spare time, it means it'll be "off" most of the time.

Their caps just keep on bulging.
