I built two AMD computers using the MSI Platinum board, with SLI running two Ge Force 6800 video cards. Now I have been building computers since I was 18, and I am 35 now. I am not sure if it's me, or the MSI motherboard, but the USB2 interfaces only work as USB1. I get an error with all devices that I am plugging in a USB 2 device into a USB 1 spot.
When I shut down the PC, it automatically reboots. I have to physically turn off the power supply. And this is with Both PCs. Just last weekend, one of them completely crapped out. I am going to diagnose the issue, but I can't even turn it on. I am so ready to just buy an AMD PC, but Dell doesn't carry them, I guess I can do Falcon or something.
I remember the good old days when AMD made their own chipset on motherboards. Now you are stuck with VIA, and I never had much luck with them.
I really wish Dell would wake up and start selling AMD PCs. I am ready to retire building PCs and focus on different things in life.
Look at bit torrent sites that offer tv shows. Thousands of seeders sharing hundreds of TV shows. With our commute times increasing due to the sprawl, people enjoy watching TV shows on the trains. I know I do. I spend 2 hours a day on a train, and I will download a show and watch it. The ipod makes it so much easier. I will probably hold off getting one, until someone figures out how to transfer divx files to it. Heck, I may even buy the shows if you can get Over There, Battle Star Gallactica and Law and Order series.

Will this be a PC? or some other device uisng the AMD processor. My sources tell me it will be some media player for the entertainment system.
Note to self: Do not take Michael to the gun range with me.
