Actually my CPU is not that bad because I have a Zalman CNPS 9500 on it. But yes, it is a "toaster"!!!!
I am kinda giving up on computers. Things are going too damn fast. I've spent a heck of a lot of money on my computer and honestly, it was kind of a waste. I'm waiting till the end of the month for VISTA to be released. Once it's released, I'll start looking for a medium-high end laptop. I'm constantly amazed at my wifes MACBOOK. It does everything so smoothly. We just came back from a trip and my wife has been goofing around with iMovie HD. And damn, the clip she rendered looks really nice!! Although I would not want a MACBOOK for myself, I am also considering that. Perhaps a MACBOOK PRO :) hehehe But I want to have a look at VISTA Laptops first. And even if I do go with a MAC I would want to wait for LEOPARD first.

Once OCed, it can't be beat. BTW : How's that toaster? :P *runs* -- JW
