It's the luck of the motherboard draw. Mine is 2.10, and I'd like to bump

There was talk on this list quite awhile ago among us 600MP owners about
chipping in to buy a 2.14 PROM and duping it with Dave M's help. Maybe we
should quit beating around the bush and actually do it ;). Who's game?

Indeed. Try pushing one up an icy hill in 20-below weather. Getting mine
home was quite a fun adventure ;)
