moving away from that though...


I don't see a need to upgrade anymore. I don't game much anymore, I only play GTR FIA when I wanna drive the Nürburgring or something. The only place I see a need to upgrade, rather, expand, is harddrive space, I still gets tons of stuff. Also distributed computing, I run ClimatePrediction.Net, but even that I'm falling out of, I don't really care anymore. I certainly wont be buying any dedicated boxen anytime soon.

With the work, and the prospects of buying a car, my 3 computers are more than enough. Infact, I keep thinking of combining them into one and selling the rest. But I'm much too fond of my Dual 1.67 GHz to sell it and the 866 MHz Dell isn't worth anything, hell I got it free, with a monitor even.

My AMD XP 2500+ Barton is enough for me, though I did overclock it for a bit more. And if I stop gaming all together, or switch to consoles, I'll go straight to linux.

So yeah anyway, Dualcores, awesome, I'd love one, but I don't need the upgrade. It'll probably only happen when I find another $135 processor that offers the same as my current did when it was $135.

Edit: oops, it was actually $138 when I bought it, minor detail though.

Actually I've got one box that does CPDN, and the rest (3 currently on my account) do Grid.org work, cancer-only.

I'd keep a dual 1.67GHz (Athlon MP 2000+ x2, no?) too, I don't blame you one bit.

Sara's running my Barton 2500+ right now @ 2GHz, but I'll probably get my new DFI Ultra-D board and the dual-core and give her my current A64 3200+ @ 2.5GHz and Asus A8V Deluxe board.
