A few weeks back – my venerable home computer (Athlon 1400) finally just gave up – it won’t even boot to the BIOS. I figured after years of slipping in new parts and tiny upgrades – it was finally time to get a new computer. I figured that I had avoided upgrading long enough to make a whole new computer worth my time.
And since dual Intels were the norm – I was double pre-disposed to upgrade.
