Is it?  I have no idea.  When processors became fast enough for just about any
purpose a few years ago, I stopped keeping score.  For this machine, I actually
just looked for something cheap, but even cheap machines seem to come with
gigahertz processors now.

VIA KT133A/KTE133 + VT82C686B AGPset

Both the Chaintech motherboard and the computer were made in Taiwan.

I don't know.  I've never heard of PC Chips.

It's the factory configuration, so I assume everything is matched.

It just has an ordinary IDE disk, nothing fancy.

It's below.  I see one mention of an "unknown card" for pci0, but I'm not sure
what that means.  The two PCI cards (NIC and Adaptec 2930UW SCSI controller)
seem to work, although I haven't actually connected anything to the 2930UW yet.
