New mobo

Spaceman got me a fantastic gift...a new motherboard.  Come to think of it he got me the last one.  Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway...The Abit IP35-E seems to ignore whatever the heck Intel put in their chipsets and/or CPUs to stop extreme overclocking.  Most of the time the CPUs seem to only overclock from one standard bus speed to another (or anywhere between within that range).  800mhz CPUs tend to go only 1066, 1066 don't seem to go much above 1333, etc.  Anyway, my Core2Duo (E4300) is currently stable with at 3.2ghz, roughly an 80% overclock and I think an FSB of 1420ish.

Biofuels called crime against humanity by some UN official.  Hmmm, I hadn't thought about it in QUITE that way, but I can see how ANY substantial development of biofuels (which is essentially burning food or crops raised on land that would otherwise be used to produce food) would lead to millions of people in the world starving as food prices soar.  Funny, you'd think they'd have hashed all this crap out in the 70's.  Important things to note, just because something produces energy...that doesn't mean it's worth the trouble of using that energy...and just because it's "renewable" that doesn't mean it's good for the environment.
