Until this upgrade from 200Mhz to 1.2 Ghz (6X) I would upgrade more regularly. 12 Mhz 286 (my first Ibm pc clone) 20 Mhz 386 33 Mhz 486 66 Mhz Pentium 120 Mhz Pentum 200 Mhz K6 1.2Ghz T bird The early upgrading was part of the transition to Windows. The 20 Mhz 386 was very fast in DOS. The 200 Mhz K6 was finally fast enough for Windows 3.1 and 95 and NT. Now I will use Windows 2000 on the new machine. Until I became interested in digital photography I really did not have a need at home for a faster machine. Digital photography changed all of that, a 3 megapixel image can take a while to operate on and 60 thumbnails take time to create. I expect the 1.2Ghz T-bird will change all that. I also increase the ram size to 256MB and the disk to 75 GB due to the needs of photography.
