Hello everyone, I had to upgrade my old computer, and I can report a success with everything except VIA VL805 USB 3.0 host controller that locks up the system whenever I attempt to use USB 3 in Linux. Oh well. So right now I have a bunch of older hardware circa 07-10 that will go into recycling unless someone wants it and I can bring it to the next GTALUG meeting on Oct 13 AMD Athlon XP 3800+ with heatsink but no fan Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 with heatsink and fan 6x 2GB memory sticks of various performance (667-800Mhz), last time I checked all of them worked IDE Pioneer DVR-108 -- DVD-RW drive circa 2004 And for the in the off chance there are morbidly curious among you, I have two motherboards that are mostly dead. ASUS M4A-VM and ASUS P5KPL-VM Any takers? Alex.
