    That's just wrong. I've moved to Porters and Stouts and botique beers. There's no letting it go. Plus your like what, 2 yerars older then me anyway.

    Or a quality beer to have with it. These new machines run pretty bloody hot. Need something to cool you down.

      Yeah, this add[^] gives no real details. I emailed them about it but have not heard back yet. I am thinking that it is probably not an Intel board for that price but I am not viewing that as a bad thing since I have worked with them before in my lab at work and found them to be a bit, shall we say, temperMENTAL.

          No guarentees now... I am just matching features. There is probably a Tyan and Intel similar. If it said Intel graphics I would assume it was an Intel board. There are also some OEM boards from Asus and MSI that are not available for individual sales. I'll be interested in what you find out.

            Some? If you have more then that should be the first priority. The interest on CC debt is enough to kill anyone.

                          Just found out that was the one. They emailed me back about it. Aside form the fact that it has no on-board sound it seems like a decent mobo.
