Sadly, it seems as if monitor prices aren't all that good. Even used monitors are still costly.

AMD's are often referred to as heaters in the gaming communities. Probably mostly by Intel fanboys. My main PC is AMD based. Before I turned on the governor in Puppy, I'd come home with it having run full tilt all day and the room was decidedly hotter. No problems with CPU governor on now though......

I don't see any american movies. I am disgusted by their extreme violence. So a series such as The Young Pope with Jude Law as the pope is a dream come true. So refreshing, so illuminating, so well played. It is a must see, if, like me, you can't stand any american movies for their extreme violence...
