I have been doing a lot more memory intensive work lately and that $30-60 spent on memory would make my compute load faster than an extra core that is memory starved. Of course I still don't understand the idea of just 3 cores. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
