Sorry about the E. Don't feel bad though, I forgot the U in Phoeun's name yesterday. And people in the U.S. never seem to know how to spell Graeme.
I just put together a nForce system for a friend. I share your dislike of VIA and was hoping that this would go smoother, but the nForce "unified drivers" are basically the same thing as the VIA 4in1s except that it's harder to install just one piece. Great board once I got it all worked out, but a lot more work than I expected. -Kevin Graeme > -----Original Message----- > From: William Wheatley [mailto:bill@;ediets.com] > Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 8:44 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Main/Mother - board Questions > > > Bah its wheatley ;) > hehe ok though if i had a nickel for every person that forgot that E > > naw my current athy doesnt have an AC.
