I had exactly the same, very good, experience with MCE a few weeks ago, and also found out that my newer processor is less hot than before! Iwan Baan >Now seems like a good time to relate my summer's >experiences: > >My 2400 NewerTech G3 was sent in to MCE for a bigger >hard drive and cardbus upgrade.
