Yea... :{( ...I'm 55 years years old and I don't feel too bad. But this rig is 5 years old and things are starting to break down or at least get very twitchy. Also things move so fast even if your equipment is state of the art when purchased, it won't take long for it to become out dated.
The Intel MoBo that went bad did't have dual channel ram. It didn't have PCI-E. It did have a AGP Video Card, and a 800 FSB.
I don't look upon this misfortune as a loss, but rather, the oportunity to upgrade. *sniff sniff*
