Ed, Re: >"What is the difference of 1 nano second to me which I can not even feel the difference."< I use to feel the same way then I purchased Net.Medic at CompUSA and it has a neat dashboard type on-line health monitor with many features one of which is local CPU LOAD and cache. Well I can see the CPU LOAD as I move my mouse pointer etc. Some programs use %100 CPU LOAD you actually see the program pause while CPU LOAD it %100 it gave me a realistic view of why I need faster CPU. I currently have a 166MHz and you better believe I am going to upgrade to P-II 400-450 or higher. My system doesn't run slow continuously but at times it hesitates and for me I want to have the power when I need it. Don't care about the times I don't need it. By that I mean I don't care if I have a big engine while doing the speed limit I want to have the kinetic energy ready to move me. That's the American way. TTOSBT
