This board is actually one of the more stable ones we have around, now
that it's been fitted with the pentium heatsink that is on it. I haven't
done any capacitor mods on it though.
It's running NT 4.0 Enterprise, I regularly see 3-4 months uptime with no
problem, except when the MCSE gets to it.

I'm hoping we don't end up with a Compaq/HP P.O.S replacing it, but
that's what the MCSE wants.
I'd rather have known good hardware, that if something goes wrong, I
don't have to wait a few hours minimum for a Compaq minimum wage tech to
come out and fix it.
