In case anyone didn't know, I've recently posted a few tech blog entries to RedState detailing my experiences building a pair of workstations based on Windows Vista, Asus K8N-DL motherboards and so on and so forth. You can read them by clicking on the last three entries in my blog at RS.
I hope they've helped a few people, because these are really wonderful motherboards and AMD processors in Opteron configuration are *fast* (and *cheap!*).
Of course I'm saving the fully-detailed write-up with all the glossy pictures for TMR and HinzSight. In the meantime, you can read my adventures pushing these systems into the Vista century over at RS.
I'm very low-intensity on the tech-front complicated stuff. I want to avoid the endless viruses and problems I seem to get with Windows. I basically use my computer as a word processor & e-mail collector and don't need bells and whistles. What do you think about switching to an Apple MacBook?
