A northwood system? And it still works? Wow...
that is the big question now that should be answered tomorrow - it has not been powered up in 3-4 years at least. My other two computers are officially dead (as in not trying to replace the CPU or motherboard), and my other "options" are a 166 Mhz and 333 Mhz machine
hoping to avoid more debt by buying a new nice budget laptop, but that would be my first choice money aside.

this dual core 2.7 Ghz is screaming fast - very nice. EAC and Wavpack Frontend fly through CDs/wav files compared to the Athlon XP system.
I question Vista using 31% of 4 GB RAM just sitting there though.
