This is &*^&*&* madding because my old machine had the bad idea to die right as I built (literally 5 mins before) this new one (one reason for buying it was I knew the old machine was on the way out) and the semester starts tomorrow and a CS student (and a ISV owner) with no developement platform is a *BAD THING* (exspecially when I owe one from last semester ;-) which I need open office for). Well enough ranting I like the new machine: E6850 3.0 GHz P35 chipset (MSI Neon-F MB) 4 GB ram 500 GB SATA drive Nvidia 8400 GS PCI-E (yes one of the low end components) Some nice accessaries like my first non-lowest cost case/power supply Price was right $950 (including tax and service plans on MB and CPU) --Aryeh -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Updating-X.org-FreeBSD-ports-to-7.3-tf4404387.html#a12588564 Sent from the freebsd-x11 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
