MSI's P965 Platinum and 975X Platinum mobos - Both boards support CrossFire and Intel's latest Core 2 processors, but the 975X Platinum costs about $20 more.
GeForce 8800 cards not working with some mobos? - The Inquirer thinks the cards don't work because they aren't fully PCI Express compliant.

i hope the riaa shuts them down. People think it doesn't hurt anyone when they dl a few songs but they are hurting a lot more then just the artists and the riaa, its just a shame that hardly anyone knows - or cares.

Yup, ur right. I don't care. I get my music for free. Have for years. Hell even easier than Napster was. I refuse to pay $20 for a CD that has 1 or 2 songs. BUT, I do download music more from the 60's-80's that I've already owned in spades.. Newer music sucks, it all sounds the same, at least in the 80's and early 90's the lyrics were decent and it wasn't about blowing someone or havng sex with someone or god whatever else...(well unless you consider Frankie Goes to Hollywood) but who listened to that?!

It hasn't hurt anyone that I'm aware of...

Who is it exactly hurting? The artists themselves? No. The people that work at the record companies? No, and I wouldn't care about those scumbags anyway.

Have you ever heard of a record company going belly up because of pirating, or god forbid any layoffs even? no.

Their system of distribution was broken, the people let them know.
Their replacement system is just as fucked up (DRM), the people will let them know.

The alternative is what we are starting to hear trickles about. the DRM-free download sites. Thats a start. But I'm still not paying a dollar a song. Make it about 20-25 cents and I'll play along.

If you want people to pay a dollar, make it a lossless format that sounds better than vinyl.

Get something better to protest against, this isn't cutting it. There are far worse things going down than music pirating, pick one of them.
