Did Support for Micron PCs back in the day, and we did full system reloads over the phone, before the days of restore partitions.  So the worst reload to get on the phone was a Windows NT 4.0 reload, with an Adaptec (3940) SCSI setup and Voodoo2's in SLI with a Viper V550 AGP Card.  With the invention of HD Audio on the Seattle 2 Pentium-II Mobo, The Crystal Audio I believe took 2 IRQ's.  It was a nightmare with all of the driver CD's and you had to work a miracle to get the board to accept all of the devices as I believe it was out of IRQ's at that point with all of the extra cards..  

Kids these days will never experience the headache of DMA/IRQs/DipSwitches/Master,Slave IDE madness.   

Goodtimes tho.  Ran my Pentium II 350 @ 400Mhz from day one on a Asus 440BX P2B.  Ran a 133Mhz Bus before it was a thing.

why the hell would somebody have an SLI voodoo2 setup under windows NT 4.0? sure it could *do* it. maybe they just really really hated win98?

I ran my pentium 90 at 100 (which actually performed better for me than 120), k6 200 at 225, celeron 266 @ 333, and the granddaddy overclocking legend, my celeron 300a @ 450.

I didn't find out until very recently, last year even, that most 486 sx25 and dx25 could happily run at 33mhz. *If I had only known!* I would have overclocked that machine for a huge perf gain. Although, as it was a Compaq Prebuild, it probably didn't have clock speed dip switches on the mobo. we'll never know now.
