Stoopid good bargain that only offers incremental gains until 64 bit and dual CPU OS'es hit the mainstream, (which will be quite a while unless a "killer app" comes along... and it ain't Longhorn :D)

Until that time its like having a V8 rammed into a bone stock Focus base model sedan. Lovely to look at and tell yer friends about, but its use is severely limited by its surrounding arcitecture.

Heh, yeah I've ben burned occassionally as well, spent the extra $ on an Intel 3GHz processor with "Hyper-Threading Technology" at the time. Never ran across any software I use in my travels that actually makes any use of it <_<
