Well deserved too, you've certainly earnt it with all the improvements to CP in the last few months. Does this mean we'll get new Code Project features faster now, or did you really buy it for Doom III :-D Michael But you know when the truth is told, That you can get what you want or you can just get old, Your're going to kick off before you even get halfway through.

Whats so odd about 2GB of RAM? I have that on my desktop at home. - Dual PIII 1Ghz - 2GB RAM - 280 GB HD - ATI Radeon Dual head - Twin 19" Monitors. - DVD ROM / CDRW / DVDRW Rocks! But I stil want one of those L machines.

It's amazing how quickly a new machine will feel slow, though. Back when 2.4GHz machines were new (a year and a half ago or so?) my company got me one for development. And MAN did it ever scream. Within a month, I found myself getting impatient with my build times. Yeah, they were almost 10x faster than my previous system, but you adjust to that quick. Now the damn thing feels like molasses going up a hill.

Yeah... I have had that happen too... Maybe system manufactrers need to build in a device that holds back allthe power at first and then gradually give you more. I might help spread out that 'new computer' feel; for a bit longer.

No noiser than a normal drive, and a damn site quieter than my laptop. cheers, Chris Maunder

Doom III's out? :~ cheers, Chris Maunder

I know what you mean, and I have tried it several times when getting new computer... But... The one I have had for the last year or so is still pretty fast, and I actually never feel that it's slow. Dual Xeon 2.8GHz with HyperThreading (WinXP say 4 CPU's ;) ) 2x WD Caviar disks in RAID0 on a promise controller 1GB Ram nVidia Geforce TI4400 and 2x 17" Samsung TFT monitors It almost never feel slow, and no matter what it's working on its always responsive and waiting for more :-D - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

How on Earth did you manage to make the Evo noisy :omg:? Schweet machine btw - I'll be living with the ol' Compaq baby for a while longer yet though methinks :). -- Andrew.

so 2 processors really make the difference ?? i am planing to have dual processor system soon.

That reminds me, when do dual layer re-writers come out ? Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

No one should develop multi-threaded code on a single processor system, no way to test it ;) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
