Very interesting, Dirk. Thanks for sharing with us. Any benchmarks on how much the 2d CPU added?

As intel keeps dropping boxed celeron prices, this option looks more tempting. The below URL is a bit unclear, but suggests that the 300a could drop to the $70 range inside of 2 weeks.

It's already at $90.

At these prices, I'm tempted to slap together another machine. With a In-Win FT/BH6/300a/64 meg RAM/basic HDD/decent vid card/other basics combo running well under $700, it's almost worth it just having a spare.

Happy holidays to all,

Dave
