    Hello, dear reader. I have a few questions to ask you, if you've got a couple of minutes. You do? Brilliant, thanks for stopping by. Are you a high-end computer user by any chance? You are? Excellent, and are you by any chance looking to upgrade your system in the near future? Cool, and are you looking towards Core 2 Duo now, and maybe Intel quad-core processors when they arrive? Superb, then maybe you can do one last thing for me. Please describe the perfect mainboard for that system spec that's in your head.


    An absolute MONSTER of a board.

    Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox

      I wanted that P5W64 board for my new dev rig but the distributor had no idea when they'd be available.

      I built my system with a P5W DH Deluxe instead. I really like. I have the same board and revision that Tom's used for their recent Quad Core tests.

      I've used the hardware level "EZ-Backup" feature to create a RAID 0 array of two 150GB Raptor drives. It's fast. To think I almost went SCSI...
      P.S. You've been Spanked!
