ok ok guys... so i don't have much money but heater918 donated an Abit IC7- Max3 to me. i had a heatsink but no brackets and a coolermaster bracket that was too tall. also, there was no NB heatsink.... all i've got to say is thank god for Wal-Mart at midnight and that zip ties are God's gift to man.


HOLY CRAP! someone was going fast! no wonder i had to sit there with alcohol and cotton swabs for 15 minutes cleaning off grease!

board with ghetto rigged heatsink... yes that is a PCI slot cover that is bent to compensate for the height between the bracket and the heatsink

and 256mb is fine for any single core to run anything but cancer.

nnstep.com for the offical v2.0 release
if you have problems come to me.
And Yes I am still working my ass off on that flash edition you guys have Begged me on. And yes I am still trying to make sure that it fits into that artificial $10 budget for the entire flash storage. But right now I am having troubles with USB Paged allocation tables.
