No kidding. That AMD I mentioned has been through a lot. Probably six different OS installs (XP Pro, Xubuntu Linux, attempted and failed Kubuntu Linux, XP Pro three or four more times), plus lots of use over the years. And yet it still works perfectly to this day.
EDIT: If it were me, I might would paint them Hemi Orange. It will certainly be different.... :P

Intel on the other hand begin to slow down, and give signs of an upcoming problem

I've heard that the 87-96 F-series trucks had speaker panels behind the seat, unlike the 80-86 models.....I wonder how hard it'd be to put some of those panels in my truck?
It'd sure help if I could do that and fit my 6x9" speakers in panels behind the seat. Currently they're in small speaker boxes that require me to move the seat forward some, and that bugs me because I'm tall and I'm used to sliding the seat in the Cherokee all the way back to accommodate that. lol

I was thinking of the little open area right below that. They'd be right above the floorboards. Unless the factory location for them on the later model trucks was where you're planning, then I'd put them there.

I have been working on the house for most of my days off. I might actually get a chance to go to the junkyard tomorrow. I do not know if I even need anything, but it is always nice to browse.

BUT, I did accidentally ruin it.
I didn't check my cans before I started spraying, and instead of spraying what I thought was carb cleaner, (don't ask) i sprayed the damn thing red. all of it.
I am kind of upset. i'll get pics of it tomorrow.
