I use evolution I use two Athlons 1.2 GHz and have the feeling that the performance is still fine but not top. Get an SMP machine when you upgrade. It will cost more but it will feel longer fast enough to work with. The CPU time of an indivual task is pretty high compared to modern CPUs but the response time to user actions is very low as the other CPU can handle this. Erich
