    You DO realizes he donates ALL the time, right? Your math is faulty.

  6. You don't need a Xeon. An Athlon 64 will work on Nvidia Reintroduces SLI with GeForce 6800 Series · · Score: 1
    from: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16874

    Nvidia goes for Nforce 4 PCI Express, all K8 support and Sound Storm 2 By Fuad Abazovic in Wien: Monday 28 June 2004, 12:07 NFORCE 4 will be the name of the project that will finally bring PCI Express to the Athlon K8 market. This chipset will be socket 754/939 ready and 940 compatible and all CPUs Athlon 64s, FX, Sempr0ns and Opterons will work on it. The platform will have one to two PCI express 16 slots making this Geforce 6800 SLI mode possible for not quite as much crazy money as you'll have to invest in Tumwater and Xeon CPU. The good news for Sound Storm lovers is that this chipset finally features these nice audio capabilities. It's now called Sound Storm 2 - no surprise there - but we don't know anything about its features as yet. Nvidia PCI Express stuff was scheduled for Q4 and it hasn't changed from that so far. We wrote Nvidias C8K-04 captured in living hues and now we know that this is the Nforce 4 project. Last time we asked Nvidia's Drew Henry director of this chipset business about Nforce 5 for Intel CPU's he said laughing where is Nforce 4. This is your answer Drew.

  7. profitable by... not refunding money on MandrakeSoft Exits Bankruptcy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I ordered Mandrake from them in November and after a few weeks of them not shipping, I cancelled the order. They kept on saying they would refund the money, but never did. Then they just stopped replying to my emails. If this is how they are dealing with coming out of Chapter 11, that is a sad way to go.

    I ordered Mandrake 9.2 from them and after a few weeks of them not shipping the product, I cancelled my order. It's been over a month of trying to get my money back and now they are not even replying to my emails. Unfortunately, I will have to treat this as fraud to my bank in a few days if my money is not refunded. Way to go Mandrake...

    Bring the CD Player that doesn't play them correctly with you to the store so they can hear it if they won't give you a refund. If they will let you exchange it, get all the copies of the CD and open them up one by one until they give up and give you your money back. If they say its a problem with the CD player, have your other CDs at hand.
