    how can you compare an 800 mhz X86-64 bit

    That would be great ecept for the humman

    Any Dj could record his cd for a goth club,
    only to find it full of arty alternitivs
    that night for some reson, infact i was in
    such a club when that happend 3 weeks ago..

    If the Dj hadnt of changed, the club would
    of been empty and id be guessing the manger
    would of been pissed.. :)

    And i woudlnt trust streming enough (at lest
    hear in Australia) to set up a two way feed
