I tried to get my new machine online but ran into 2 issues:
1. the stock Intel Heatsink/fan that comes with the new P4 Prescott 6xx series are GARBAGE... Under full load with SoB, it was reaching temperatures of 76C with the CPU fan running at 4800RPM before I shut it down.
2. the next day, the motherboard's network and IEEE1394 controller went to crap, so I'll be sending it back.
For the cooling issue - I suspect the stock thermal pad on the bottom of intel's cooler is part of the problem - I'll try some AC5 instead.
If that doesn't work, I'll have to get an aftermarket cooler just to run SoB!

Re: Position 33 - The show must go on
Well, we did beat Russia a little while ago...
Position 33 - The show must go on
Position 33 has been reached :!:
Position 33 - The show must go on
In Overall Rate. We are already at 33 in Total Production.
I'm still looking at 30 in Total Production.
Although I should probably be looking at 32 and 31 first. :D
We are still moving, but at a slower pace. (Minbari upgrading?)
Regardless, we should be able to get 32 by the end of the week.

Argh, you're right. Thin news got me careless :oops:
