I’ve been taking apart, tinkering inside of, and building PCs since the Commodore-64 days. In the transition to the x86, I started building them bit by bit, and that meant learning a great deal about motherboards. While you’ll still need to check out the propellerhead sites like Anandtech

Expectations are usually high when major franchises meet: Batman and Superman, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Family Guy and The Simpsons. The results can be erratic, a resounding success or a massive failure, but sometimes it just meanders around. Project X-Zone 2 is both exactly what you might expect from a
