Until early this month, I sat at a dual-proc 200MHz PPro every day for the last 7 years. If it were a single (heck, if it were a single 300MHz system), I couldn't have managed that long. As a dual... sure, Mozilla was unusable, and I'd just go to bed for big compiles, but interactive response was always good. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
