Is this machine too new for this sub? Recently acquired the holy grail of Slot A: Athlon 1GHz. Very proud of this machine. I have wanted one for years.

I for one like these builds. Partially because I had a similar one myself (Although I went straight from Socket 7 to Socket A... never had a Slot CPU in my life.), but also because the same reason why older car engines look cooler than those feom today: When I see under the hood or in a modern computer case, all I see is plastic covers.
Besides, cable management with PAATA cables was no easy feat.
Thanks ❤️ I agree. I love socket A also.
