 MK> Hey Kenneth!
hi :)

[ tyan dual s370 686a partial use? ]

i don't know.  you know there are some fiber optic probes at some of the
service centers that let them look under stuff without unounting it, with only
a few mm clearance, sometimes.

 KP> mini atx for the p4?

 MK> ASRock jobber.
ah!  never heard of it <G>

 KP> what makes it a bit slower for compiling?

 MK> Not positive why, especially since moving the sata over to it.
 MK> Theoretically it should be faster the two 933's but it isn't.
 MK> Offhand I think the higher voltage p3's I have (had a heck of a

:)

could happen - very many tempting compatible new chips avail?

they know to run slower when undercooled i read

 KP> sounds like a bargain alright!
