    upgrade time!

    I have found that it is time for a serious upgrade. I have been looking into the abit av8 and the a64 3500+ this gives me a rough price of ~$367. I would like to spend less but still have a cpu and mobo that will give me good performance for quite a few years. the main reason i'm upgrading is...

    No Go-L!

    So how many of you guys think it's great that this company is going down? Personally I find it amusing. They used all kinds of rediculous ads, terms, etc. to try to boost sales when in reality there product was nothing new and fabulous. Granted they used some serious cooling and other...
