CenturyLink has announced 1GB service "soon" in Denver. Pricing is unclear but it appears they want to sell it bundled with land line phone service. I would prefer the City of Denver develop a high speed network as a public utility.
Back in the early 80's Saab produced a pamphlet that recommended using only gears 1, 3, & 5 if seeking max fuel economy. With those gears, they instructed winding up the engine to reach cruising speed as quickly as possible. In other words, accelerate!

I'm running Windows 2000 on a K7S5A, 512 MB of Crucial RAM, with an average power supply. I use the onboard NIC. Everything works and it is much more stable than the Asus Pentium II board it replace.
This ECS board seemed as reliable as the various ASUS, Abit, Shuttle, AOpen, Tyan based systems I've built and cost less.
I've had mixed results with Abit but keep trying them because of their features.
The "Mass Motherboard Review" is anecdotal, like my comments above. His numeric ratings are substantially baloney.
Recognizing and exploiting patterns is pretty much the whole of chess.
Some psychologists back in the 1930's studied the aspect of memory in chess. They supposed that chess masters had fantastic memories and that weaker players would have weaker abilities to memorize.
The psychologists tested average, expert, master and world class players by presenting them with photographs of positions from master class games. They exposed the positions for a few seconds in some tests and longer in others.
After, the subject was asked questions which revealed how much of the position they could recall.
As expected, the average players didn't remember much at all, the experts did well, and the world class subjects virtually memorized the positions at a glance.
They also showed positions that were not from actual games, just kind of random.
Surprisingly, the very best players and the worst players had equal inability to remember these "random" positions.
It's all pattern recognition. I lost many quarters to a master who proved he could recognize patterns and beat me in speed chess where I had 5 minutes to his 1 minute.

Cod liver oil has too many pollutants. Try a pharmaceutical grade fish oil extract. Ingest the good parts after the bad stuff is filtered out.
On the other hand, maybe the PC guy should stay with his computer OS, lest he become pseudo-cool like the MAC guy.
"Thought is the belief of death." - That can't be right.
If the ads are aimed at PC users, having a great performer play the PC user is smart.
"Death is the belief of thought." - Huh?

That I was right out of my head too few
The way he described it characters per
He said I'd be better dead than alive line
I didn't listen to his jive (currently
I knew all along (18.5). Lameness
That he was all wrong filter

use fewer 'junk'
My analyst told me characters.
That I was right out of my head
He said I need treatment
But I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type
That was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts
No more ifs or ands or buts
They say as a child
I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happening
I knew I was a genius...
What's so strange when you know
That you're a wizard at three
I knew that this was meant to be
Now I heard little children
Were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I got into the vodka one night
My parents got frantic
Didn't know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes
Before I came to
Now do you think I was crazy
I may have been only three
But I was swinging
They all laugh at angry young men
They all laughed at Edison
And also at Einstein
So why should I be sorry
If they just couldn't understand
The idiomatic logic
That went on in my head
I had a brain
It was insane
Oh they used to laugh at me
When I refused to ride
On those double decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
But I said dear doctor
I think that it's you instead
Because I, I got a thing
That's unique and new
To prove it I'll have
The last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head
I got two
And you know two heads are better than one.
