The 1800+ model number (it is _not_ the MHz speed) means this is as
fast or faster than a Pentium 4 going at 1800MHz.
I think the PR rating is the equivalent speed compared to the Thunderbird
based Athlons (the ones that went up to 1.4GHz. I think they may get into
hot water if they compared

check that chip, i always have trouble with onboard anything..
People seem to really love the Soyo Dragon+. It has onboard sound, and
10/100 ethernet, but seems to work well with Linux. It also comes with
two front-side usb ports, some silicone for the heatsink, optical audio

cd-r's and cd-rw's are by far the cheapest backup medium right now.
CD-R's are worth something like $.33 each, and they hold 650-700 MB.
Very convenient since they can be read by all computers. Very easy to
burn cd's in Linux btw, in case
