someone posted this on slashdot about the radeon 4870 X2

Allow me to note that the very idea of plugging a woman's desires into a matrix processing unit is precisely what women do not want. It simply won't work.

To effectively compute female emotions, you'd need something like a quantum computer where you get all possible results at once (and I do mean simultaneously), usually with lots of yelling, doors slamming, and things being thrown.

I talked to Martin at AMS about this a while back. he said most make it go to lean, but the HKS intake, actually brings a stock evo right to about wehre you would want it tuned.

drop in will make just as much power

So war's tellin' lies now huh?

JK man, btw I ended up getting those parts from mitsuparts just cause I knew you'd be busy settling in at the new setup

Are they giving any service discounts at your current dealership? I actually need to have my brakes, clutch cylinder and power steering completely flushed and would much rather bring it to the dealer than have to deal with that mess
