Hi Bill  slightly off topic:

I bought a Video Card, works great in Linux, not too well in Win 7. 
Found out it was not that well cooled. None of them are. Nvidia with 98 
Cores in Parrallel, aught to do real fast Graphics, with ddr-5 Memory 
and i Gig on Board. Only getting 35 Frames per second, in Windows. Any 
faster stuff and the frame rate drops, Because it is getting HOT! 
Removed the Stock Heat Sink put on a 3 - Heat Pipe Video Cooler, now I 
get 120 Frames per second, still not that great! In Linux I get 140 
Frames per second using the Nvidia Driver. and it goes faster than that! 
More load and it slows down! It has a Sleeve Bearing Fan on it that runs 
upside down, and that is real bad news, because that little Split Washer 
wears real fast and then the Fan falls apart!  If you can get say a 5 
heat Pipe Cooler, and a Ball Bearing Fan that runs great upside Down, 
then you might be going somewhere with it. X240G Needs very Good Cooling 
to work very well!

Alfred!
