Heh, he was wrong.. My friend called and they said $150 for an FIC AD11.. It uses the sis chipset, not a very nice board.. Heh, sorry everyone, it was my first attempt at a hot deal, it was a bummer ;[ On the other hand, he got a Duron 1.2 ghz + an Epox 8kha+ for $168.. A very good deal IMO...

Yah it is.. Nice weather lately, only supposed to get better :D Actually Fry's is planning on putting a store up here.. It very well could be that location.. I almost got a job there (thats how I know they're expanding) but they wanted a drug test that day :( I hope so, I live like 10 blocks...

If this is true, and the FIC doesn't have any hideous flaws, this is hotter than.. hotter than... umm.. hotter than something really hot! (my duron when the heatsink wasnt seated properly?) I'm goin to check it out now, I looked up the board, its a KT266, standard fare.. I'll post back when I...

yah, that should work for the CPU.. If you wanna clean it off of the heatsink, it takes some doing, but can be done.. Use alcohol and a credit card to scrape..

I personally haven't seen any 92mm heatsinks.. If all else fails, get an 80mm heatsink and an 80mm>92mm fan adapter.. I've been considering this myself.. -chip

the optical 2x != the dual optical, correct? the optical 2x = 800dpi w/ 1 optical sensor (as opposed to 400dpi) the dual optical = two (400?800?) optical sensors true?

bump! looks like I'm driving to all of the portland area baskin robbins getting free scoops! everybody go get free ice cream & give those kids some books!

They had these at Fry's for 14.99 the other day.. Whats the link to the rebate? 4.99's an even better price :)

My setup: I'm running an Epox 8kha+ with a GeForce2 Pro 64mb DDR and 1 512 Mb Stick of Mushkin Registered 2100 DDR.. The only other devices in the system is a regular floppy, 16x DVD, and a 60gb Maxtor HD.. (It's only showing up as a 2~ gig HD.. I used Fdisk under dos (from a win95 machine...

yup, thats it.. but that page says nothing about the performance.. anyone know if this is overclockable ram? what settings will it run at? -chip

Ok, it came from Crucial, the sticker on it says www.mushkin.com, and the chips say: infineon HYB25D256800AT-7 I bought it off of the forums, and he said it was a registered stick.. Is this correct? Is this good (overclockable) ram? Anyone know what speeds I might be able to reach with this...

Heh, well I should have the answer to your questions coming... I recently ordered: Epox 8kha+, Duron 1ghz, copper shim, GC68 HSF.. Cant wait to see what it'll do :)

hmm.. the thread title made me wonder.. is it possible that another operating system (say linux, or whatever) would be stable at higher speeds than windows? just wondering -chip
