Are we all being sent to EGBE or just Gerry Tom?
BTW on the 8800 front, my GTS works fine but I have occasional hitches from
the Mobo which has an ATI chipset. Now you'ld have thought I's know better
wouldn't you? Still, gives me an excuse to get a new mobo, processor, &
RAM. Then swap bits out to SWMBO's machine and everyone's happy.
I'm hoping to get sufficient parts to put together a machine I can dump at
my brothers with a permenantly on FSHost server. I've already talked it
through with him and he's happy with it going in his loft and also being
used to monitor his security cameras. All I need to do now is get the dosh
for the mobo, processor and ram.
