When my new box shows up, I'll probably cannibalize the RAM into her box, along with one of the faster drives. Or maybe the entire MB, except that's so much work... and like I said, I don't care for the hobby anymore.

I used to have a strong fondness for ABIT mainboards.
ABit was <IMHO> the #1 rock solid overclocker's MB, but like so many small niche mfg. they fell on hard times & began to sacrifice quality. ABit was eventually bought out by Foxconn, who makes many OEM boards. Apple, PlayStation & XBox use them & I wouldn't be surprised if Dell as well. The ASRock MB is a branch of Asustech & a spinoff of the Asus brand enthusiasts/gamer boards. ASRock is geared toward OEM & industrial PC to compete w/ mfgs. like Foxconn.

The 357 Sig is a necked down .40 to accept a 9mm bullet. A .40 is a shorter, weaker version of the 10mm, where the .40 came from because the FBI deemed the 10mm to be too powerful.

I haven't had a beer in months, and i've never been to a clam bake. What is a clam bake, anyways? Is that what they do in New England on the beach, where they dig a hole in the ground, build a fire, throw the clams over it and bury it?

But damn... that was still a pretty car.

No way i'd have a .454 snub nose. The muzzle flash would be insane.

I used to have a S&W 629 .44 Magnum. That had enough recoil.

Reason why I want a 10mm is its versatility. I can get the weaker rounds loaded at .40 pressure levels for target shooting, or go all out with full pressure rounds from Buffalo Bore to hunt with. Those bullets have enough knockdown power for me to go to my buddy's farmland out in central FL and go hunt some hogs on his property. I want to put a couple hundred pounds of pork chops and bacon in my freezer.

"A typical traditional New England clam bake (or clambake) begins with gathering seaweed (traditionally rockweed - Ascophyllum nodosum) at the shoreline; seaweed is an important adjunct to cooking the food. To keep the seaweed fresh, it is necessary to have a container large enough to hold both the seaweed and a fair amount of sea water.


Also important are several round medium-sized stones, or sometimes cannon *****, which are heated in the fire and used to re-radiate heat during the cooking process.


Lastly, like most other methods of steaming, a cover is necessary to allow the trapped heat and steam to thoroughly cook the food. Canvas tarps or potato sacks soaked in sea water are often used for this purpose.


Once the stones and seaweed have been collected, a fire pit is prepared. Some prefer to simply start a fire within the pit, while others line the edges with flat stones to provide support for a metal grill on which the stones may be placed.


The stones used for cooking are then placed in the center of the pit and a wood fire is started, although the exact method of heating the stones varies. The fire must burn until the stones are glowing hot. Care must be taken to ensure that the fire will burn out shortly after this optimal cooking temperature is achieved. The ashes are then swept off the stones and raked between them to form an insulating "bed". A layer of wet seaweed is placed over the stones, followed by traditional regional foods such as steamers, mussels, quahogs, and lobsters. Side dishes usually include potatoes, corn on the cob, linguiça sausages, carrots, and onions. Alternating layers of seaweed and food are piled on top and the entire mound is covered with canvas that has been drenched in sea water to seal in the heat and prevent the canvas from burning. (Some may prefer to use beer to soak the canvas, but it is unlikely to have any effect whatsoever on the cooked food.) The food is allowed to steam for several hours.


Since many locales outlaw building fires on beaches, and in order to accommodate the dish in homes or backyards, this dish is often prepared in a large pot. This is known as a New England Clam Boil. There are some caterers that specialize in clam bakes on the beach."

My .44 stopped a 300 pound boar in it's tracks. it all depends on the bullet you're using. If you use a bullet that opens up quickly, you won't get the penetration you need to get into the vitals. A .223 is a small, light bullet. You probably weren't getting through the thick muscle and tissue and getting into the organs.

Read the description here. These 220 grain hard cast bullets have what it takes to get the job done.
