Heh.  yeah.  I've always been somewhat dubious about those [overclock,
MP-enable]-your-Athlon-by-adding-traces hacks.

Meanwhile, I got outbid on the one Creator3D on eBay that I could
actually *afford* while I was away in Wilson.  (The good news is I was
in Wilson interviewing with a recruiter for a Solaris/Legato admin job
with BB&T.)


Still, there's six hours left on the 130 or so Elite3D-M3s .... 

One mo' time, can anyone tell me the difference between a 501-4860 and a
501-5484?  I assume there must BE a difference because the 501-4860s are
$14.99 each (87 available) and the 501-5484s are $19.99 each (47
available).
