Bummer! My newest is one Bloomfield and one Lynnfield. My "daily driver" is a Conroe Core 2 Duo. But it can't be helped I suppose. Fortunately, I'm not a "gamer". The trouble with getting a newer i3 is the infrastructure incompatibility. There's no failure short of a direct lightning strike that would take me down for more than a few minutes. Thanks, Ken. I'll start prowling kernel versions again. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates." (I do not personally endorse any additions after this line.
