 I`ve just replaced a Sempron 3100+ that was a hot runner with a 939 3000+, much cooler. The X2 should solve your troubles ! Not all Czech`s bounce but I`d like to try with Barbar ;-) Make no mistake This IS the TEDDIES TEAM. |

 Took the plunge. NewEgg for the X2 3800+ and Arctic Cooler Freezer 64 Pro. $177. $299 + $177 = ~ 475 for an Windoze X2 cruncher. Still need to get some thermal paste though. Hopefully will arrive by Monday or Tueday. |

 Converting a Yugo into a Porsche will require buying Porsche parts, piece by piece.  You'll pay four times as much as just buying the Porsche outright.  However, if you're just looking for a growth experience ...  have fun. dag --Finding aliens is cool, but understanding the structure of proteins is useful. |

 The Porsche starts at $2,999 http://www.abs.com/app/config.asp?mono=1955.  I used to love blowing doors off of Porsches with my Beetle.  Besides, it is the best way to learn. |

 A few years ago, when it still made economical $enSe, I "rolled my own".  Weren't necessarily the fastest ones on the block, but yeah, got the experience and pride from doing-it-yourself. (I guess thats what you say the first (and last!) time you fry a chip!). Used to be you could also save a few dollar$ while gaining the experience. Now, for a Windoze system, with M/S XP Home running at $200 off-the-shelf, I can see why it would cost four time more for a completed system!

 What did I say a few posts ago about lottery tickets?  Way C-O-O-L ! The Porsche starts at $2,999 http://www.abs.com/app/config.asp?mono=1955. I used to love blowing doors off of Porsches with my Beetle. Besides, it is the best way to learn. |
