I tried this and another link and still can not download the file. Is there 
some simple link that Outlook Express can be used to access and download it? 
I do not care if it is slow. I can let it download all night if need be.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [H] Best Core2 Duo mobo?

2006-12-03 Thread CW
A lot of people chose these boards for other reasons also.  Since you've got 3 
x8/x16 lane PCI-E slots, you've got optional support for future physics cards, 
capture cards, etc.  It's a good bit of future proofing.

Though, having a pair of 8800GTS is more a matter of making sure you whip up at 
games.

I've got a box in right now where someone is spending $250 on a NIC.  
(KillerNIC).  I just don't get it.  Supposedly lowers ping.  I don't even see 
how that's possible.  Maybe it could -kinda- lower ping between you and your 
router in your house, but what power does it have at all over the latency 
between your cable modem and your provider?  I can't think of any.  If someone 
has any good logic on this that I'm missing, I'd love to hear it, but it seems 
to me I should just put a big heatsink on a 3COM, re-write the BIOS and market 
it as "DESTROY3R NIC"   I wonder how many people would line up to buy it.

OK :)

Those are valid points.  The more I play with the 680i, though, the more 
that it's hard to argue with it being the definitive "it" board.

Inside, outside, in heat ducts or chaseways?

Is this the "too much security" type of error that you can (and I do)
override each time the program loads.

Beware that 16 bit software won't run in Vista 64. This could wreak 
havoc with a lot of older installer code.

Yes, the hearing is good for an 86 year old, (Dec. 30 = 86 b-day). He's 
a retired chemistry and physics professor and is still sharp as a tack.
Reads more in a day than I do in a week, current affairs, science mags,

Has a cell phone and carries it mostly all the time. He keeps it on the
