   You might be right.  Underclocking worked, though it made the performance a bit   
   lacklustre.

   And how young is that?  I'm somewhere near the median age at 48, though   
   physically younger. ;)

   Sounds interesting, only issue is I don't have a lot of time for videos.  I   
   tend to multitask heavily, and video/audio don't lend themselves to that style   
   of operation.  Otherwise I'd have domestic issues. :)
