AMD 64 3800. Abit AV8 mobo, 3 banksof 512k 400Mhz memory, Adaptek 29160 with 2 SCSI 160 drives. uP was OEM so using Zalman fan and heat sink. Video is old Abit board, model now unknown, but worked well for 3 os's and a few years. When I power up I get the whirring fans and a bright red led. Nothing seems to get abnormally hot. Maybe I need new video card. Rob.
