squizzle, does your ram work well? wondering since i was going to buy it myself. p4 3.00E, see processors like this at newegg, what's the "e" for?
Great article ddp. A let down for me since I have a 3.2 P 4E. Oh well there will always be bigger, badder chips right after you buy one. I will be content with it until PCI Express is in the mainstream or better utilization of AMD 64. Edit F'd up the link to Newbie Essentials! I am a dumb ass at 4 in morn!
Well really aD cut off the end of my sig when I added the links. So many links and so little space. I know [bold]excuses, excuses, excuses!!![/bold] Some of us are not prefect, but at least honest. A fellow here about once edited a blunder (that I mentioned). Then tried to tell me I was mistaken. God knows that never happens.
