I had the main desktop DDR2 mysteriously lose video ( still don't know if i=
t is just needing reseating
memory or if the onboard video no longer works or if one of the four bad ca=
pacitors went too var
awry to still work... lack of time to test..)

If one prefers DDR2 for a two-cpu-on-lan setup, anyone knows of a very reli=
able source for a pair of mobo/CPU ?

The only question here I feel the need to address sooner not later is wheth=
