I worked recently with a Pentium IV running at something above 3 GHz. The machine felt so slow even under low load. I use to upgrade since decades to leading edge hardware and keep it for a pretty long time. This saves me some money and a lot of time on the long term. I then get the itch when new hardware comes to the market. As long as the itch does not get to bad, I stick with the old one. The current one I got 2001. Erich
