But that said just get the same thing at Fry's for less. That mobo was at Fry's recently for $70 with cpu. But SSD, and 60GB at that, bye bye hard drive failure. Now you just have flash failure. I still think a write-once-friendly medium like flash ought to be nice for venti. Wonder if we could keep fossil and index in battery-back dram ? ron
