Also blacklist a similar board made by DFI. ------------------------ END OF REPLIED MESSAGE ------------------------ Hell, since I do not depend on LOW-BUDGET, I have never killed a CPU even by SICK programming even my SuperSparc CPU survived. Please can anyone advice me, about VERY VERY good Hardware design to prevent its destruction by software Errors? You can even send me examples of such broken Hardware... Oh yes, since I am using exclusivly Debian GNU/Linux none of my project will work with a well known proprietary OS and my hardware specs will be entirely open even if I code the stuff my own (currently).
