That's the problem I have with them. ;)
My PII was made around the time as my Netra t1
105. Both are still 100% functional. I don't like any PeeCee hardware that is
Pentium III or later. It's just absolutely unrealiable garbage! I just /do not/
trust it. If I don't check it for a month I want my systems to not throw any crazy
errors. Only my Pre-PIII systems I trust to not give errors in that time period (this is
only talking about PeeCee hardware).
I do think, however, that the PIII era was when building your own machine
was really beginning to become popular, and as a result, the manufacturing
quality of boards in the consumer sector began to suffer. The high-end
server boards fared somewhat better, IMO.
