Out of two Socket A/462 motherboards I ever bought, this is the only one
that hasn't died. It's original Sempron died at the hands of a cheap PSU,
and the Athlon in it now was the first CPU I could locate that it would
boot using the replacement. Its main functions are historically QA-related,
including bug report triage. I also have a Pentium III Coppermine doing
equivalent duty.
