Really, it didn't come with thermal paste? Is there maybe a pad on the bottom of the heat sink or something? A retail processor should have something.

If it was a boxed Intel processor that includes a heat sink then you should see a thermal pad already on the bottom of the heat sink.

Yeah, there are some paddy looking things on the bottom. So no need for paste, then?

Hey. New board.
Any of you use a Roku? Should I open the box one of these days?
I love it. I use it every day. Right now it,my PS2, and an over-the-air antenna are the only things plugged into my TV.

Gris, that's good to know.
What is this "antenna" of which you speak?

I was reading about the Roku and other options because I'm going to the minimum cable for depressing financial reasons, yet I still want to be able to watch everything I want to from my comfy chair.
It looks like another possibility is the Tivo-Netflix combo, when it gets off the ground. That's supposed to be this month, but I never count my new tech before it's hatched.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am suddenly curious about thermal paste.
Don't eat thermal paste.
Google Reader users - is there a way to tell it not to include friends' shared items in the Unread count?
Supposedly the new version of Google Reader has this option.
Huh. Jessica is one of my two Google Reader friends. Am I one of yours, Jessica?
