Hardware Specs Reported in Dispatches
Athlon64 X2 6000+ · 4GB · Asus M2N-SLI deluxe · GeForce 8600GTS · I'm a coder and musician, and I've worked with OSX for years. · Pretty much everything works with r1 except the dual onboard LANs. And I'm writing a driver to make that work. So it's not like I'm mooching off anyone.
