rather well and surprisingly fast considering the upgrades. it's really stable once I figured out I had a few CD and DVD drives the system didn't like. So when i found a drive it liked, i was able to install the stuff.
Not sure what I am gonna do with the machine, but it will be fun to play around with for a while. The video card makes a huge difference in GUI response, which is why it ran fast despite only having a 233Mhz original CPU. When I almost doubled it, it ran twice as fast and applications opened almost instantly, when paired up with the SATA card and HDD.
Keeping that SATA card is a blessing since my cousin has been pressuring me to sell it to him (albeit at a much discounted price. yeah right..) All my computer hobbies are gonna be grounded until I get out of the hospital for this broken leg, but when I get out, I gotta go to therapy. This is gonna suck.
