Well, after putting together my own 850 (Celeron 566 oc'ed) and upgrading Rachael's machine to the same thing, I am left with a couple of 300a's that run fine at 450.

  Re: Pointless
 
(...) Well, this kind of easter egg I don't mind -- it certainly doesn't take up much space. It's not a full flight simulator or anything.

Ya know, I would *love* to have this feature in a user-configurable fashion. Like, being able to assign a keystroke to load the home page, for example.
