Right. i currently have a dual athlon 2400+ which is running @ 2gz and i will be installing gentoo on it within the next few weeks. i havent got it installed now cause my hard drive is quite small for both linux and windows (30Gb) but im getting a 120Gb soon. anyway, what would be the average build time of a basic system with gnome 2.4 and mozilla 1.5 on this kind of a system? what about the boot strap time? i may install gentoo sooner if it only takes a few hours or so, but there is no point in building it now, taking a few days and then having to do it again a month down the road. if i install it now, i could live with winxp under vmware. you may need to know i have 1Gb DDR 2100 memory. Thanks in advance for info.

I have a similar setup with just half the RAM. Bootstrap took 35-45mins, X11 about the same. I compiled KDE next, which took a few hours, but having moved to Gnome recently I would guess at 90 minutes or so?? I might be a little off on the Gnome guess. Also, Mozilla compiles in about 25minutes, QT in about 15 and most other things before you can hit a button on your stopwatch. (don't bother to type 'time' at the console, it'll be done before you can)
Seriously, my dual AMD setup is very very fast at compiling, wouldn't change it unless I added more RAM.
