More newsgroups included... I wish I could dump this processor... it's way to hot... but for now I will probably have to stick with it...
Hard to find a replacement...
I am getting second thoughts about ordering another socket 939 fokking motherboard...
Perhaps I should dump some more and go with low tdp processors... that will take care of this mess... hmmm....
Bye, Skybuck.
