Actually Alden is my best friend - he was the one who suggested I max out
the machine just to see if it would blow up.  No problems, just slow.  We
watched all three Lord of the Rings movies and surfed while it was

Athlon 64 I guess.  Radiosity DID enhance this, albeit I just put the
slightest touch in.
