I was bored and doodling with domain names and came up with three potential names for a shop:
foire
magasin
recondo
So I chose mathrecondo, but I check availability by putting the names in the address bar , so if I want some time to think about it, no-one is going out of their way to increase the price.
Got a big surprise with one of them. Don't look, it's for grown ups only.
Oh my computers broke, good eh, one week old.

My new computer is in for repair, this one uses a restricted browser and I can't see my site, the bottom doesn't seem to load. Can you see this.

tanks, I put safari on it now and can see it is alright. The 1 cm at the bottom is my attempt at design, works on the last page but has to be on all of them or none of them.
Didn't get to bed till 0430, installing a much reduced version temporarily of XP until my new pc is repaired.
Nuisance is that its cost me 30 pounds to return it free, it was overheating. The builders sent two carriers and one a day early, but they still haven't picked it up.
I think they didn't apply thermal paste, or the replacement fan is wrong, like it says on the internet, unsuitable for phenom.
Could be a trip to the courthouse is in order soon.

Changing the FSB frequency doesn't add voltage or heat, what I did was apply the correct settings. The motherboard is two way compatible, AM2 socket doesn't work with hypertransport, so it is switched off by default, isochronic flow is switched off by default ect. So if you have a AM2+ socket cpu costing more than an AM2 socket cpu, it will run slower in this case unless settings are changed in BIOS.
Things get hairy if you increase the voltage, which I didn't, and a test on default settings showed the cpu running 15C lower after my settings were applied.
You can with some older cpu's clock over 50% faster, that's what water cooling is for, but it neglects the computer as a whole.
If somebody keeps braking their leg, you might as many doctors do examine the leg ignoring the head, where the problem might emanate. The same rules apply to computers, and I thought you knew all this anyway.
I got 3 virus's on my old pc already, after reformatting.
