This may sound odd but I don't ever seem to have to insert the CD. Once done on
install after re-booting and first run they never seem to ask again unless I
change something in the config. Then agreed it can be a pain having to hunt for
the specific CD. Chess Partner I don't think has ever asked for a CD for any of
it's commercial programs.

I am not sure yet also whether I will O/C my 4400 as I have bought it with that
intention by getting a motherboard specifically to allow it, and I would assume
that would change the number I get when running the install. For me anyway it's
a pain if they sell me the WCCC version that I can move from my what will be 4
systems then fine but if not then sadly I'll skip it.

Sarah.
