After a stroll through the stores here in the UK I have to ask what's the
problem with the MX's?  Where I am in the UK, there are a load of them on
the shelf for the equivalent of $60 US, and I'd like to know whether they've
got bugs galore, or just the "old model"?  The machine this is going into is
a 950MHz Asus/AMD, and will never be running at 1800 to say the least.

Thanks again and Happy New Year!
