GVTucker,<<<This computer is three years old, and has no problem getting connected to DSL or doing major photo editing. It runs on Win NT 4.0 just fine, I really don't care about Win XP.>>>

Most personal computers do not have a person with 18 years of very expensive education doing their hardware/software maintenance. When you amortize the education, that is one very expensive computer.

But these anomolies are not that uncommon. There are many mainframe computers out there with $millions in custom software kept running by hiring expensive multimillionaire consultants (like our own John Koligsman) that can easily be beaten (SPEC scores - whatever) by an Athlon.

Go figure.
