My grandson needs his own now, seven years old and likes Mine-Craft.
So I got him a cool looking new Gamer desktop case. It's called X-QPack.
I had a couple LGA 775 board left over from expermenting for a Boat computer, so
I thought I would mount an E-8600 duo on one of the Lga 775 board, add an SSD and
a couple CF cards to it an see if that does the trick for a while.
The E 8600 is out of my current machine, the one I am use right here and now, so I need another.
I found out you can modify the LGA 775 board, add a pin mask to the processor and run
a LGA 771 Xeon processor on the 775 board. Now the cool thing is, there are a bunch of them
for sale on eBay cheap. I just picked up a Quad X5460 3.16 mhz processor for $45
I figure anything fast enough so that you never know your waiting is fast enough.
