I am definitely interested, and bandwidth isn't a huge issue. Hardware is at present, but shouldn't be after I do the upgrade in a few months, if I'm lucky, early Q4, assuming the things are out and decently priced, by then. . Know-how would be the issue presently, if I had the hardware. However, I intend to change that as well, within the next few months, so if I'm lucky everything will come together on it later this year. Due to former overclocking, I can't push my current 1.2 Athlon C very hard for very long. I can compile a kernel or an app or two, even that's pushing it sometimes. I hadn't INTENDED to wait this long b4 upgrading again, but the desktop Hammer has to this point seemed frustratingly like an ever retreating mirage, and that's what I've been waiting for. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
