They were running slow for awhile, and then they just stopped working. I thought maybe it was just my ISP or something. I guess not.

Glad it wasn't just me....strange that the forums went down but the main Anandtech site just kept running. Too much traffic I guess.... :)

...it's also because the forums are now running off of the worlds fastest dual processor x86 platform :)

Keep an eye out for an article all about it very soon...

Take care,

Ooo, that's gives me a warm fuzzy feeling all over:).I thought that was the case as I remember you mentioning it in one of your articles on Athlon MP. But I thought you upgraded it last Wednesday so it didn't make sense that it was faster now. Guess I get thrown easily. ;)
