They don't translate many of the articles

Alta Vista will translate a URL. Search for anything, then click on the translate link at the end of a find, then paste a URL into the box and choose German to English. It is not perfect but it works!

What do you get for your money?

SI has no advertising for the paid subscribers (lifetime membership) It is primarily for stock investors but we wander off into these related and sometimes not related threads. The posts don't keep disappearing as they do on Anand's site! And Anand doesn't have the edit function and a spell checker! Our specialty seems to be heading towards trading machines (more multimonitor posts than average) I am sure you have seen the auxiliary but here is the link to the multimonitor posts for new readers

Motherboards

I want 4 DIMMS but I can live with less. There don't seem to be many mobo's if I require the 4 DIMM slots. If I look at the features it leads me to the ABIT LX6.....also the reviews on Anand's site and TOM's site. I think Tom and Anand are heavy into performance and missed the boat on reliability. I have seen many complaints about the LX6 being Dead on Arrival.

Will ECC RAM help prevent system "hangs"?

To me reliability and support are number one. The jumperless design was appealing at first but isn't it just for the CPU speed? One has to open the box to change the CPU so it doesn't seem that much more work to change a jumper?

Do you have an opinion on the Intel boards? The boxed boards have a three year Warranty. Intel has a very active support thread. The responses from Intel fall a bit short but there is a lot of help from other users available. If you look at the capacitors on the board they are huge compared to any others I have seen (except TYAN)
