processor and motherboard....

.....so that's me 'offline' 'til August....

Sempron 3300 - any good? (Best the local guy could offer...??)

and, for the Culture Vultures, anyone here also into 'Ozu' movies...??

Now, anyone care to guess what these items have all got in common? (Clue: -
some pretty good budget valve amps come from the same place also!! ;-)

Answers on a postcard....

(I sure as **** won't be reading them here for a while!! :-)

No, absolutely terrible. I urge you to stick it in a box and send it to
me, together with your motherboard & RAM for immediate disposal. ;-)


My brother is running a Sempron at the mo. Nice chip. Runs linux well but
I can't recommend any other (inferior) OS, obviously!

I decided not to pull my dear little eMachine about - it's been/is too damn
good and I'm WiFied anyway, so WTF??

(Now I'm sweating to get Win Doze Ecks Pee on it before the curry's ready!!

Good choice. But when it offers to fire up Norton for you, for
goodness sake tell it to bugger off.

I have linux on one machine - it is nothing but a file server and
never gets switched off or rebooted. Total stability for about nine
months so far. I wouldn't use it on a machine I actually want to "do"
things with, though.
