    My grandson needs his own now, seven years old and likes Mine-Craft.
    So I got him a cool looking new Gamer desktop case. It's called X-QPack.
    I had a couple LGA 775 board left over from expermenting for a Boat computer, so
    I thought I would mount an E-8600 duo on one of the Lga 775 board, add an SSD and
    a couple CF cards to it an see if that does the trick for a while.

    The E 8600 is out of my current machine, the one I am use right here and now, so I need another.
    I found out you can modify the LGA 775 board, add a pin mask to the processor and run
    a LGA 771 Xeon processor on the 775 board. Now the cool thing is, there are a bunch of them
    for sale on eBay cheap. I just picked up a Quad X5460 3.16 mhz processor for $45

    I figure anything fast enough so that you never know your waiting is fast enough.

    I am eating crow right now with the following: I am sorry. I made a terrible assumption about your intelligence. I was very wrong.

    He may be projecting his inner self, the core of his being, in a splash of fantasy to parody the same from Marazul.
