Deadly boring and expensive writing for somebody who is not rich now and will be so up to the year 2003. I still hope that maybe some competition will make entire situation more rosy that we had in our best dreams. Remember the first Pentiums?

Was in the place that you indicated. Description is too long to digest it in one reading, but features of 64 bits natural beauty is really something extremely attractive to make you stay with her and write for her your next 64 chess game.
