I've gotten a motherboard, a PC-CHIPS M963GV that "overclocks" the FSB
to 800MHz. It's updating and installing a fresh install of Ubuntu
6.10 ATM. I'm still on the lookout for a set of DDR DIMMs. Nearly
any DDR DIMMs that can beat an in store or online price might be
useful to me. I hope everyone has had a good holiday weekend.
Thanks,
Jon.
