Thanks Bertil. I hope you'll get to test them asap. How does that work anyway?
do you wait till the manufacturer submits them? or do you decide which to test
and contact the manufacturer?.

Anyway this is probably another one of my last posts for a bit as today I
purchased 2 Thunderbird 900 mhz chips and 2 Asus A7V motherboards + 2 350
power supplys to upgrade my Celerons with.....sadly now I find that both my
Celerons have onboard graphics cards and sound cards on the motherboard, this
one a built in ethernet card that is different from the one I bought in the
store today.....so at this point I must admit I'm lost as I kinda expected I
would be....it just seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway now I have the
parts I will take them all to work tomorrow in various stages of assembly, even
this one is now just together in bits...and hopefully I can pursuade someone in
data processing to assemble them for me. At which point I'll have to get the
cable company in to install and connect this ethernet card.

Last match played not posted yet was;
Gandalf 432_f   +9 -16  =15
Gambit 1.0     +16  -9  =15

Tiger 13.0    138.5/240
Gambit 1.0    136.5/240
Fritz 6a      112.5/200
Junior 6a      88.0/200
Hiarcs 7.32    87.5/200
Shredder 4.0   85.5/200
Gandalf 432_f  31.5/80
Nimzo 8         0.0/0

Bye.
Sarah.
