    Yeah I don't think I could explain that $7000 to the wife... Could I??? No I don't think so besides I like to ride my motorcycle to much and I would have to sell that to be able to afford a system like that, and then it wouldn't even preform that much better than what I already have anyway..

    bbmayo, your chip doesn't work as it was fried by the sun & anything you were/are getting is dis-information. your string dixie cup is getting no info but is getting vibrated for free!!!

    We have several but my favorite is;

    Toshiba P25 S509 Laptop
    P4 2.8 GHz
    XP Pro
    1 gig Ram
    17 in. WXGA
    80 Gig HD
    DVD-RAM/DVD-R/CD-RW

    Not the fastest but the most versatile that we own.

    That's a hell of a setup kivory. Been meaning to compliment you on it :)

    If you know a good source for upgrades for my truck I'm all ears. I've a '96 Dodge Dakota 3.9l V6 and she's been my baby since the day I bought her new. I've always taken care of her and she's in spectacular shape especially for being nine years old. I've gotten my money's worth out the stock parts so I've been upgrading to higher quality parts as they wear out. In about a week my buddy and I are putting in a new clutch, an Optima Red Top closed cell battery and some very nice machined brass battery terminals since the factory ones have been mangled over the years.

    I don't do much for the exterior because the more stock she looks the less chance she'll catch a thief's eyes. I prefer performance over "bling" :)

    1) Junk yard
    2) Trade it in for a chevy silverado.
    3) Drive it up here to ohio and literally watch it rust away before your very eyes.
    4) If it doesn't rust right away,we can put it in lake erie for another man made reef.
    5) Sell it to al bundy, He like dodge's

    LMAO, Just kidding neph.
    How many miles you got on her?
    Good Luck on your truck!

    Chevy Rules!

    We can place neph's dodge on top of all the bleachers from the cleveland brown's old stadium bleachers that are sitting at the bottom of lake erie. However,the stench may kill off all the walleye in the lake!

    I'm a Dodge fan first and foremost, then Ford trails way behind, then Chevy brings up a distant last. Not that I thinks Chevy's are bad vehicles but with the exception of the Corvette they just don't do much for me :)

    She has a little over 66,000 on her which isn't bad at all for a nine year old vehicle and I'll be driving her till I have to trade her in for a walker. She's been paid off for five years, insurance is cheap, parts are cheap, she's a breeze to work on and she's she's been rock solid reliable - all I've had to fix so far are normal wear items. Plus I love driving her :)

    I would first need to see what advantages are truly offered by any changes to anything nowadays. I went with the 3.4 Northwood because it was the last chip that could easily be over clocked if needed without running "ice water" to cool the chip down such as the new Prescott's that run 50+ c at idle. If I wanted I could easily clock my Northwood 3.4 to over the 4 GHz mark but 3.74 is only a 10% over clock which is mild and easy on the chip. All my machines other then the laptop were from my wanting to upgrade my PC's, etc. The 2.8 CPU was on my ASUS P4P800 Deluxe before I upgraded to the 3.4 CPU. The SOYO MB was a deal I got on Newegg for actually nothing but the $5 shipping after I got my rebates on it, (which took over 6 months.), etc. Again I like speed so I really need to see what will be said about all the changes that are coming our way soon.

    Come on neph, Fords are the worst, LOL
    I had over 212,000 miles on my 89 s-10 with the 2.5 liter. The original battery lasted over 10 years. It started to nickel and dime me after 180,000. The only thing I replaced was radiator,waterpump,belt-besides the normal 5 sets of tires,4 exhausts, and 2 sets of brakes. A very reliable truck,but the ohio salt took care of sheet metal,solid rust! ,LOL

    Here's the specs on my Backup Pc:

    Ibm Flat tower
    Intel Celeron 598 mhz
    Window xp home, sp-1
    Benq 1620,firmware version B7-L9
    256 mbs of Rimm
    8 gig hard drive ? name
    30 gig hard drive- ?name
    Video card?
    15" humungous monitor-HP
    Lexmark z-25 printer
    2 usb ports, yeehaw
    1 IBM floppy
    Mouse and keyboard with wires!!!!!!!

    It's a clusterf**k, but it burns sweet,but slow. Very reliable compared to this piece of sh*t main pc of mine!
    9 and a half hours just to encode the full backup of Meet the Fockers with shrinks max smoothness enhancement. Last time I try that again, LOL

    Hee hee. You need to move to Phoenix where car bodies last forever although you're lucky to get a battery to last three. Our heat kills batteries like you wouldn't believe.


    I forgot to mention that my PC has a custom made SATA 3.5" floppy that I made myself ;)
