If you do both (add RAM and add a second processor) it would be interesting (to me, at least) to have you do it in steps and try to make an objective (or subjective) observation as to which contributes the most to improvement. If I were doing it, and did not want to go back and uninstall anything, I'd upgrade the memory first, run for a while to get a feel for the change (improvement), then add the second processor. > > The box will primarily be running KDE (or GNOME if I get completely > fed up with the latency of KDE), act as a light file server, and > maybe an internet gateway. Nothing major. Thanks for the info. IME, KDE (or GNOME) are major, and will be the major contributors of load on your system. Randy Kramer
