Hi there, first of all sorry to all that are expecting pictures from all my rigs but some of them may not be possible to arrange and the reason is simple: I'm Portuguese and until last August (2013) I was living in my home coutry sorrunded by most of my old builds, but I've moved to the UK looking for a better live (Love Portugal but there's no good job oportunities) so I've left all of my rigs at home!

I'm 30 years old and my first computer was given to me by my parents when I was 10. It was a pre-built computer by Triudus (no longer exists) with this:

Pentium 100Mhz (133 Turbo mode) (66Mhz Bus Speed)
Motherboard Intel 430FX
16MB EDO RAM
S3Trio+ 2MB PCI

I´ve enjoyed myself this cumputer for 6 years with just one upgrade an 24x CD Drive just to instal FIFA 98.

Then I had a Tbird build... That's my first of several AMD build that I had with DFI (my first loved brand in cumputer hardware) and that's when I've started to discover the funny world of Overclocking.

Mobo: DFI AK75-EC
CPU: AMD Duron 1Ghz TBird
RAM: 2*256MB SDR 133
VGA: S3 Savage3D AGP 8MB

Folowed a given computer skt370 by a family friend with a great mobo for OC:

Mobo: Soltek SL-65KV2-CT
CPU: Intel PIII 1Ghz Coppermine
RAM: 2x256 SDRAM 133
VGA: GeForce 4 MMX440 32MB

Another Intel build SKT423 (given by the same friend):
Mobo: DFI WT70-EC REV.A2
CPU: Intel P4 1.5GHz
RAM: 2xRIMM PC800 256MB
VGA: RIVA TNT2 32MB

Back to AMD world the funiest and enjoiable times of Overcloking of my life:
Skt 462:

Mobo: abit AN7
CPU: AMD Athlon XP2600+
RAM: 2*256MB DDR400
VGA: Albatron GF4 MX4000XL 128MB

Mobo: DFI NF3 UT UltraD
CPU: Opty 170

(I've loved this build for so many years, still running in my father in law office were he use it for Photoshop, Google Scratch and some gamming!)
