If only I had anything that new to spare. My mom gets buy with an
Emachine, one of first dual core P4's, I maxed out the RAM at 2gigs
and installed Werewolf. It purrs,like a kitten, but then she isn't a
power user either. My own is a dual core Athlon 4200 with 3gigs, also
running Werewolf, I built that about , oh , 18 - 24 months ago? sounds
right. It was right around the time the socket AM2 had just come out.
My sense of time is skewed, I usually don't remember what day of the
week it is ; ) I bought my girlfriend a laptop for her birthday and
put F8 on  that too. My theory is that if i have to maintain it for
free then your running the OS of my choice! Plus I learn alot more
that way, though I expected to have to set up remote access to
administer my Mom's but she hasn't had any trouble out of it so I left
the ssh turned off and the remote desktop too. I get over there once a
week or so , now that I live close to home again. I'll tell you what
though, most of the cheap Vista boxes have at least 2 gb RAM now, and
your talking under $400 for the tower, by itself mind you, no
flatscreen or anything but definitely dual-core. I have a  p3 w/512
ram test box I use on a regular basis for experimentation and an old
k6-2 266 or 300 MHz that runs FreeNAS for storage, i think it used to
belong to my sister but she's moved on to a Mac now. I will get her
running Linux of some kind sooner or later. My Dad doesn't have a
computer but he doesn't care, I want to setup a Linux media  center
for him but first I need a decent box to get it running on, it'll
probably be awhile though. I've scrapped a couple of junkers, poor
things, just weren't worth the investment to keep them running. I can
probably still get some p3 boxes though for under $100 but only 256MB
RAM and a 10gb harddrive. Hardly media center quality. I got my F8 at
work too, she's a real trooper that box is, used and abused. Still
ticking and kicking!!
