From the “Cold War” Dept.

So I used this online Magic 8-ball to tell me if I should buy the Dual CPU computer.

It said “Yes” 4 out of 5 times.

Granted the coin I was flipping said “No” 6 times before a single yes showed.

So I decided to do what Kevin recommended, and let my wallet do the talking.

So I bought:

• 2 x AMD 1.4 GHz Athlon XP 1600+ Processors w/ Thoroughbred cores
• 1 x Tyan Tiger MPX Dual processor capable Motherboard
• 1 x Corsair 512 MB DDR2100 ECC Registered Ram
• 2 x VANTEC Aeroflow SocketA CPU COOLERs (5600 RPM)
• 1 x ANTEC 1080AMG Case with 430 Watt TruePower PSU

I’ll have to modify the Athlon processors—which kind of worries me—but there is a store near my house that sells the tools I need to hack the CPU.

Should be straight forward.

I don’t know what I plan to use the computer for, but it will be way faster than what I have now. I can now say that I’m at least only 2 years behind the bleeding edge of technology.

Cheers,

Tai
