electrical storm?

What do you mean?

I have 150000 volts above my head. If that ain't generating a big enough EMF,
then the only thing that i can imagine at the moment generating a bigger EMF
field is a H-bomb in the atmosphere.

Of course you need 3 wires to the machine. 2 power wires and 1 earth, otherwise
nowadays todays computers destroy themselves ;)

i personally find all the dual K7 motherboards suck ass. Most boards the com
ports do not work. good example is the Tyan stuff. only bios 2.07 the both com
ports worked. the newer ones it doesn't.

for an auto232 player pretty critical.

currently i have a MPX2 motherboard. it is the best board i had so far, but keep
in mind that this board is discontinued.

dual opteron is what rocks now.
