I have motherboards in my garage older than you! ;-D
PIKER! I've mobos still running (when I fire 'em up). Although I'm seriously considering ditching the 386SX with Win 3.11. Don't find any reason to fire it up anymore.
Hell, even at my age I've got more memory left than it ever had! :-))

I don't think I kept anything lower than a 486. You never know if you might need it!
I have a 486DX fully configured and ready to step in as my fallback IPCop gateway if the primary should fail. The primary is a 200MHz Pentium. With the 10Mbit ethernet cards and standard Road Runner cable modem service, it used to get about 600MB/sec. The 486 would do about 75% of that (450MB/sec). A good enough backup I think.
