Hi y'all
My PC died very suddenly on Sunday night (moment of silence).
One can't buy Sempron processors here anymore, so yesterday I bought an
Intel DG965WH motherboard with a Core Duo E6600 and 2G of RAM. I managed

Oh, and watch out for the BIOS updates MQ1176P and MQ1233P. Neither of
them booted off the SCSI drive (Adaptec 29160 controller). It worked

Of course the only way to contact the technical people is via one of the
"Technical Support Programs". Apparently the engineers at Intel never
make mistakes :-| Or not publicly, anyway.
