    Canadians will elect Bush-like prime minister.

    30 seats for the NPD seems like a lot. I wish them. I think the conservative will win more spots than you predicted. I can't understand how clueless people have to be to vote for them...even here. Bush is all smile when he sees the polls placing the polluting oil-loving religious freaks...

    Favorite motherboard with onboard video?

    There are others too Time. The board you're talking about doesn't use the 6100 chipset, but the 6150. It's the Asus A8N-VM/CSN. The Asus A8N-VM (the one with the Geforce 6100 chipset) only has a VGA output. MSI's K8NGM2-FID uses the Gefarce 6150 chipset too and features a DVI output...

    You probably have onboard graphics and that's eating a chunk of your memory. Buy a separated graphic card, graphic card, or graphic card and disable the one onboard. Spend less than for 1GB of RAM. Enjoy clearer display and DVI output.

    I can't say for sure for an Athlon 64, but for my Pentium 4, boosting the RAM to 375MHz from 333MHz gave me a 9% improvement on the average time per frame for QMD units. The improvement has been linear with the memory frequency increase. If the same rule applies to the Athlon 64, we are...
