You raise some good questions and I, personally, would not upgrade until the question of Athlon support is clarified. I just looked into Bibble and you are correct - I will not run on my original Athlon, but it will not run on my Athlon XP system. Bibble says that the processor must be SSE

One sold on e-bay recently, I think it went for $700+. I would have loved to bid but it was way beyond my reach when I found it. I think I may have found a bargain, but apparently the lettering on the front of the lens has been blacked out! I'm guessing to prevent reflections/flare?! John
