It's a lot cheaper, too.
So, it took me a while but I've finally found my Socket A heatsinks, in the old days these would clamp onto the socket so no backplate or the like although some high end late era Socket A boards indeed had holes for certain heatsinks like the Zalman flower series.
The ones I have are from Spire and I think Cooler Master, they actually have 80x80mm fans which is good, older heatsinks only had 70x70, 60x60 or even 50x50mm fans, the smaller the fan the more hellish noise they made, in those days you didn't have PWM fans with the mainboard controlling the RPM, overclockers back then liked to use the infamous DELTA fans, 60x60mm and 6000 to 7200RPM depending on the type, it's like having a small jet engine inside your casing and if you ever by accident managed to stick your fingers into one while it was spinning then there would be a bloodbath..

"The fact that the explanation of Riemann's conjecture comes from physics, i.e. from statistical mechanics and the surprising connections of this field with a genuinely mathematical topic such as number theory, reveals at once the great unity of scientific knowledge and, at the same time, increases our astonishment of facing such a profound fact," is the final comment of the two authors.
The research was published in the Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment.
Quantum Computers get a boost

Quantum computer and many other quantum technologies rely on the generation of quantum-entangled pairs of electrons. However, the systems developed so far typically produce a noisy and random flow of entangled electrons, which hinders synchronized operations on the entangled particles. Now, researchers from Aalto University in Finland propose a way to produce a regular flow of spin-entangled electrons.

^^ But can it play Crisis?
So, got a board, a CPU, a heatsink, I think I still have a soundcard and 56K modem, now I need to sort out what video card I can use.. I have a quite a few AGP cards but I'll need to dig them out of course aaand a casing..
It's Crysis
Challenge, What hardware could you get Crysis to run on and still be fun?
Nice
Keep meaning to reinstall Crysis, though I'd probably on play at 1080 rather than higher.
It did play ok when I got it when it first came out, though I guess I didn't have many of the settings at high.

[screams internally]
^ I was getting that internal errors when I would open a new gmail tab while it was doing this --- it is all good 35,000 primary gmails left the important stuff 000 Maybe --- I would like to delete from 2020 to 2007 in the primary email section since everything is now so empty in the other sections..
That's a lot of gigs
Always a good idea to hit F5 and refresh.
I find sometimes explorer won't show when files have been copied or moved.
Same happens if creating a new folder but a refresh reveals all.
^^ True, also when copying files it won't sort them alphabetically until you press F5
Still messing around with the Sempron 145 machine, installed Mint 20.2 XFCE onto it, it is working okay and not even slow except when using certain programs like Firefox and other (probably multithread friendly) programs, in that case it's showing its age and lack of cores, it hascore/thread only at 2.8Ghz.

XFCE's such a nice desktop environment, all clean and very light on resources. If I wasn't spoiled rotten by Cinnamon, I'd use it as my daily. I do use Caja for my file manager rather than Nemo, though, as Nemo tends to not copy/paste correctly, and also says a file's finished transferring before it's done, and Caja doesn't have that issue.
Why do apps like google photos sort in reverse order and not oldest photo first which is what I'm used to with Windows?
did you stop and think that Windows might display in the order because you've made it a preference and that oldest to newest is the default in those apps but you haven't change the preference?
