I'll do another cpu upgrade in October when intel makes | their next | price cut. Of course you can buy a 2.4/512k Xeon for $270US, only a 533FSB but you could have two... Clearly depends on your o/s, the affordable versions of Windows only go to two CPU, Linux does as many as you want, with HT enabled. As for an upgrade later, the equasion is: 2.4now + 3.0 then - 2.4resale = 3.0 now + fun_now - resale_hassle Even if you can sell the 2.4, the price of that will be lower, you have the hassle of doing the sale, and you don't have the 25% faster CPU now. You might even want to just o/c the 2.4 and forget the 3.0. -- Bill Davidsen CTO, TMR Associates As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously. -Benjamin Franklin (who would have liked open source) |
