My socket 939 is at a nice cool voltage of 1.3 volts. I under-voltage it to keep it cool.

Star Office was Sun Microsystems version of an office-like product meant to compete with Microsoft's Office. I haven't read too much about it. Sort of passed away into obscurity.

There is a LIMIT to how much memory you can run in dual channel. I own a winchester core socket 939 myself and it won't run in dual channel mode with 1 GB dimms. The venice core socket 939 fixed that I think, but even then it still won't run in dual channel if the dimm sizes are too large.

Try emailing the idea as a suggestion to Microsoft. Maybe they will implement it in a future version of Windows.

I never used a fan on my memory in all the years that I have owned a computer, and it never went bad on me.

A manufacturer only pays cents on the dollar to add an audio chip or cables in the box. The markup on the final retail price is not that much for onboard audio.

I enjoy strategy games, but ones that have decent graphics. Not stick-figure graphics like in RoN. I play Empire Earth, the expansion, and Empire Earth II. Both RoN and Empire Earth tried to cover ages of history. Empire Earth just happens to do a much better job at it with better graphics.

I agree. Nvidia could behave like Microsoft and make their products purposedly incompatible with their competition, but instead they practice fair play. They keep their products compatible with their competition.

I don't buy sony either. Only because I can't afford them. Not in my budget.

I wouldn't mind seeing a comparison between the K8N Neo4 and the K8N Neo2 with a list of features they have in common and features that one or the other are missing.

Amd k6-2, 95 mhz, laptop. Windows 3.1. It works well enough for typing.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic audio card is what I'm using. Worth the slightly over hundred bucks that I paid for it.

I hope the graphics don't suck as bad as the original Rise of Nations. My biggest complaint about the original RoN was the graphics looked like they were from the 1990s.

Someone stole my web site's design once.

Insane to spend that much on it. Until the price comes down, I can not see anyone buying it.
