Fascinating to see a well-documented, classic budget build like this.  It's a perfect time capsule of the era and a reminder of how far we've come.  For its time, this Sempron 3400+ system was a capable machine for basic office tasks and light browsing.

Looking at this configuration really puts the power of modern computing into perspective.  The performance gap between this system and a modern workstation with a https://serverorbit. com/cpus-and-processors/xeon-22-core/3-0ghzXeon 22 Core 3. 0GHz processor is almost incomprehensible.

It's not just about 1. 8GHz vs.  3. 0GHz.  It's about:

A single core vs.  22 cores and 44 threads.

2GB of DDR2 RAM vs.  potentially 128GB+ of DDR4 ECC memory.

An integrated Nvidia 6100 GPU vs.  separate professional-grade cards for rendering and computation.

This old build represents the starting line, and a Xeon 22-core system represents the pinnacle of parallel processing for professional workloads today.  Thanks for sharing this piece of computing history!
