You must repair it. It's excellent game, different than other Wonder Boy parts. Currently I play on this game for MARP first position. 14 levels with excellent graphics and music and bosses. |

I'll chuck it back into the repair pile, then. I'll probably have to run some jumpers from edge contacts into scraped off areas of trace, I think. |

I have always been an AMD kinda guy. I have always built all my systems with AMD chips, and I have built about 20 for family/friends/customers. They work great. Intel is prolly good too, just never built one. I have used Intel Core 2 Duos at work. They operate pretty good. |

A few years ago, AMD stopped numbering their CPUs based on the speed! A 3200 does NOT operate at 3.2 ghz (as you are probably assuming). My system has an AMD 2400+, but it's speed is 2ghz. |

They claimed that a 3200 would be equal or out-perform an Intel 3.2 ghz. |
