Spare CPUs

I have a load of spare Socket 370 CPUs if anyone is interested. They are just gathering dust in my house because I don't have any Socket 370 (Celeron / Pentium III) systems anymore... If anyone wants any please let me know...

Celeron 1.2/100
Pentium III 800/133
Celeron 566/66
Celeron 600/66

The older slot 1 boards may not like the 1.2 or the 133 P3, but most socket 370 boards should take them ok. PS - Phil, can you tell us the benefits / differences between myspace and facebook? ie what's the point joining facebook if you're already on myspace.

Benefits of joining Facebook:
- People who aren't on MySpace may be on facebook - just another way of helping people to find you on the web if they need to.
- Facebook appears to be quite well written - doesn't spend it's life reporting errors to it's administrators and generally being hopeless
- Profiles don't appear to be customisable - much tidier, and no annoying background music.
- Tighter controls on who can view your profile.
- Photos can be tagged, so that you can look with photos featuring Dave.
- You don't get loads of bands asking to be your mate, 'cos Facebook doesn't do bands.

Naff things about facebook:
- Doesn't appear to be very good at geographical friend searches.
- Without viewing a profile it's harder to spot whether this "John Smith" is your mate from school or not.

Well, I've joined Facebook... and it's infinitely better than myspace. Myspace is such a pain in the ass in comparison. Myspace is buggy (how many times have you got the message "there's been an error"), takes ages to find people, and it's a pain to find people, facebook makes it VERY EASY to find people.

Facebook is a breath of fresh air and WAY more interactive, a much more interesting place to visit, you don't have to visit every single profile like you have to on myspace, the facebook homepage just tells you everything that's been updated on your friends pages.

It makes myspace completely redundant. I see literally NO point in myspace whatsoever*. (when facebook exists).

* I guess the only exception is that myspace has the "muso" angle covered.

Here's a link to my facebook page:
