"Just threw away my Intel 66 MHz 486 machine (nobody wants it), which my company bought for over $5,000.
Now I can buy a PC with dual CPUs (for a "total of 3.6 GHz"--since clock rate becomes irrelevant after a certain speed, 2x1.8 GHz is actually better than 1x3.6 GHz, if some company is dumb enough to try to produce it) for less than 40% of that price. Things have really changed, haven't they?
I think this superPC will be very useful in doing graphics (especially video editting), and as a thin-client server. But I am doing neither of these. :-("
