It's a P3 750 w/ 512 MB pc133 (@100) with a GF2 and a 60GB HD.

There's just nothing for me to do anymore! I can't play games. All I do is browse AT!

you can smash it to pieces and buy a dell.

seriously, it's time to upgrade. i'm starting to think my 3-year old AXP 1700+ is showing its ages... and it's still like 2 years newer than yours!

I'm gonna ride it out for another year or two =)

I might be ignorant ... wait, I AM igonrant, but is processor speed unrelated to internet satisfaction and connection speed the only important factor in browsing ATOT goodness?

you are ignorant. a faster CPU/HD/more RAM means pages can load faster. studies have shown that a 150% increase in performance boosts neffing pleasure by at least 125%. the 25% has been reserved for the said internet pron.

I'm in a similar situation with my system, and I want be able to upgrade until late in the year.

So I'm stuck with it until at least this fall. I know how you feel.
