"ON-BOARD" ATI graphics. its a all-in-one motherboard. can't move it.
re: emf radiation, I heavily doubt that a CPU could radiate any significant
EMF thru a heatsink, which after all is a large mass of aluminum, presumably
grounded.
I'd be more likely to suspect power transients coming through the +5VDC.

he meant the distributed.net client does not use FPU or cache. In fact, it
does use some cache, but not nearly as heavily as the LL tests do. The
distributed.net client is that RC-5 encryption thing, its all integer math.
