Dude, bummer about the mobo. I had the same thing happen to me when I built this one oh so long ago...
Incidentally, Windows Vista RC1 is now available for download. I'm downloading it even as I type this. I think I'll leave my XP Pro alone C: and install this on F:, just for fun. Sound OK?
I'm also thinkin'.... hmmm... mebbe Bruce wants to test drive Vista on his new machine?
