Didn't you hear Jean? Rigs like that cause... uh... impotence... yeah - thats it.

Better send it over here and I'll dispose of it.

If I had a dual Athlon rig, I wouldn't need sex anyway.

LOL,I don't know if I'd go quite so far as to say that ...


A couple of my power user friends are playing with it now and plotting on how they're going to get it out of here without me noticing :D

Schweet!

Guess you'll pass me right back up in the SETI stats then. :)

I'm torn between building a dual-proc PC or just using, say, the IWill XP333-R and an XP 1800+ and the onboard ATA/133 RAID for digital video capturing/editing/rendering...oh...the choices.....

And now AMD says the new 130-nanometer-based chips will start shipping this quarter!! What's a cpu power-hungry geek to do?!?! :)

Welcome to the wonderful world of dual Athlon computing. My Dual XP 1600+ has been humming along for about a month and a half now (no SCSI for me, IDE works for what I need it for). Of course it wasn't my first dual system, as it sits right next to my old dual Celeron system which I shut down last night for what might be the last time. *sniff* Gonna miss that old system, but then again, the dual Athlon system managed to rip an entire CD to MP3 faster than I could turn around to check on its progress.

Man, you know your computer is REALLY old when middle aged women build computers that are faster than yours.
