Some of you hardware jockeys please give me a clue. I have two machines at home running GIMPS 24-7. One is a P4-2Ghz. The other is a 5 yr old 350 Mhz PII, which is in need of a tech refresh. Clearly there is more to computer performance than clock speed, but for GIMPS I suppose clock speed is everything. Is it? My other machine already has a DVD writer, networked etc, so I need not rebuy that. What should I buy? I have no hard spending limit, but I am looking for value and suppose that a thousand dollar machine would be more than adequate. Does AMD vs Intel matter? Does bus speed matter?
