I just bought a new AMD Athlon 64 2800+ motherboard

and brother (and sister) is it FAST.

The funny part is, there is no M$ 64 bit operating system for this chip as of yet, except in the beta testing stage (I have a copy of XP 64 for AMD beta, and it sucks). Fortunately, plain ol' XP 32 works VERY well-- it fully boots in under 20 seconds, and it's so responsive the onboard graphics engine can't keep up. AND it has a very clean audio chip-- the buzz that was in my old mobo is not there.

It's the future, and it's gonna be here rapidly.

I know you're jealous. :evilgrin:

2. I have the Suse 9.2 Pro 64 on DVD

I plan to install it once I do a little repartitioning. It should scream.
