And who says our education system fails in teaching proper man-board love safety precautions?

Anti-static bags are more effective.

Yes, that's what I mean - moving the electrical connections.

More like anti-static condoms.

Ht 3.0?

Shouldn't it be HyperTransport HT 3.1 to take full advantage of the new FX processors? Hopefully it is just a board print error for a pre-release sample as this will mean you are down 20% on performance with HT3.0.

That's what I was hinting at.

In some places in the US using a condom is sometimes referred to as "bagging it".
