I am curious as to why you need so much memory and so many processors, etc.
The memory was free, out of the dumpster at work. (Well, a big box in front of the lab we were decommissioning, but dumpster sounds better.) My wife occasionally uses InDesign, and does need a bit of RAM at times.
The only thing I use that really wants some CPU is DxO, it can spend hours crunching on photos. So that's why I went for the 8x3GHz CPU's. (The poor little laptop spent all day on one job.) That, and just because I could. Both machines are near-identical as a political statement more than anything else, and so that we each have a backup if one should die. The only thing that has really driven this upgrade cycle is the f****ng browsers. Everything else we would do is still well-served by the G5's. No, it's not about the money. It's about throwing down the gauntlet.... and winning. Plus, I hate waste. I _really_ hate waste. These machines are now 'throwaway', and yet are nearly as good as the $4k trash can, for any use we could put it to. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
