He, I am considering throwing a P160 in the trash. I sold my P233 for $125 and it was a hassle.

This sounded like an simple tip that came from this site after I ran the test. pcpitstop.com "Some applications do not work properly if hard disk drives are not labeled. We suggest you label your disk drives, and it is easy to do. You can do it manually using the instructions below. You can choose any name to use as the label of your drive; we recommend that you only use letters, digits, and the underscore "_" character. The actual name you choose is not important, but due to a bug in Windows you should not use the name WINDOWS. A simple name like DATA is fine. If you're feeling in a playful mood you could choose a label like BROKEN, FAST, or MINE. If you have more than one drive, use a different name for each one. 1.Open the "My Computer" icon on the desktop by double-clicking it. 2.Right-click on the icon for your hard disk drive and select Properties from the menu. 3.Under the General tab, type in a label in the space provided. 4.Click OK to make the changes"

New celeron CPUs, about to be released, look like overclocking monsters. Sweet!!! overclockers.com pccritix.com Q: So, how overclockable are they, are they sweet? They are very sweet, rock solid at 100MHz front side bus, with normal air cooling; and since these seems to be OEM chips, I expect the retail chip to be better. However, to run the C533 stable at 800MHz and C566 at 850MHz, we had to boost the CPU core voltage up to 1.75-1.80v, depends on the motherboard we used. But hey, even at higher voltage, they ran nice & cool. :-) pcnut.com
