Gonna crank it up to 50 kilowatts per channel, better cover your ears :-)

I don't think I want to pass a pentium. Last time I tried that pins 47 thru' 78 got caught on my small intestine.

[ah]

o.k.

But, just in case someone asks, why?

Try a 286?

Well nothing under 400MHz...its very picky...

[Peter Hucker]

I warned you it was 50kW per channel. And you just distorted it! Your speakers I mean your newsreader is no good!

[Peter Hucker]

Not erotic enough.

[Peter Hucker]

And XP would be happy under 400MHz?

[ah]

Try a 469?

[ah]

GUI isn't everything . . . but it sure helps.

[Peter Hucker]

Is that a vehicular item?

[Peter Hucker]

For once I wasn't saying windows was any better, just that nothing is happy under

400MHz.

I'm getting really pissed off with how slow this dual Athlon MP 2800+ machine is. Will have to get the 64 bit ones soon.

Thank you Billy Two Sheds...thats just huger than soup.

[Peter Hucker]

Which planet are you speaking to us from?

[ah]

Hold that wallet a bit until you're sure:

most "slowness" is because of the storage-bus bottleneck.

You could have 5 terabytes of storage accessible by a liquid-nitrogen-cooled 14CPU system, but still get the responsiveness of a 80386.

Of course, XP is a bottleneck in, and of, itself.

[ah]

Something like that.

[Peter Hucker]

I removed the storage bottleneck. Four 250MB 7200rpm drives connected to a £250

3ware 66MHz/64bit PCI RAID card. The processors can't write data that fast!

Besides I have 2GB of RAM, soon to be 3GB.

Sounded like a Peugeot.
