    Thanks for the ideas guys. I still think I'm going to go with the x2 4400+ Even tho the ram is older, i'd prefer to have 2x 1 gig sticks in dual channel any day over 2x 512 meg sticks of ddr2 667 in dual channel (price is a factor for me). So.. this brings me to the motherboard question...

    Need some help deciding

    I've found a page on Tom's Hardware comparing the 2 cpu's/memory/etc. It looks like in all but a few things the AMD whoops the Intel processor. So with that being said. I guess its the AMD x2 4400+ If i get the Lanparty UT board, i'll probably end up getting 2x 1 gig of xms ram for it...

    Need experienced programmer with LPT1

    achtung, the links don't appear, and i'm not using a pop up blocker. Can someone create a start in c/c++ for this? I think i understand how you need to send binary to the different pins to have the turn on and off (i'm assuming they will be at ~5 volts when on 1, and at 0 they should be ~0...
