The CPU in the "dated" machine is dual core 2 gig plus per core. I remember the 939 chips fondly
Yeh but Zing, how much did that cost you when you built it compared to now? Moores Law sucks but it's true, this system I bought was £1100 in December 07, 1 1/2 Years ago, But look at whats out now..

And thats not even off the scale, for £1000 you can build a really nice system, luckily I bought mine expecting not to have to upgrade for at least 2 years, but game technology is advancing fast, one of the reasons I had to upgrade my Graphics at Xmas was because of world of warcrafts new expansion, and i know a lot of people who cant play now because their system can't keep up.
