551041 2007-05-19 02:41:00 Are you overclocking Jack? Any reason why you brough RAM faster than the CPU supports? Pete O'Neil (6584)

That is funny? I think it is even more amusing that at least two people this week have been unable to install drivers for their sATA hard drives without going to a lot of trouble because their machines don't have a floppy drive. It is totally crazy that floppy drives are almost obsolete yet sATA drive manufacturers still expect their drivers to be installed from a floppy disk.

An interesting question. No intention to o'clock at the moment, but knowing me I probably will.

Was hoping no one would spot the ram. An oversight on my part. But it shouldn't realy matter

Agree wholeheartedly.
