No offense but my main rig does about that. It's just a AMD 2500+ with
1GB of ram, running at 2GHz though. I was thinking about building me a
new rig but if I won't see any more improvement than that, I'll spend my
money somewhere else, maybe some glasses for a start. O_O

To err is human, I'm most certainly human.
I have four rigs:
1: Home built; Abit NF7 ver 2.0 w/ AMD 2500+ CPU, 1GB of ram and right now two
80GB hard drives. Named Smoker
2: Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs of ram and a 4GB drive.
Named Swifty
3: Home built; Gigabyte GA-71XE4 w/ 800MHz CPU, 224MBs of ram and a 2.5GB
drive. Named Pokey
4: Compaq Proliant 6000 Server w/ Quad 200MHz CPUs, 128MBs of ram and a 4.3GB
SCSI drive. Named Putput
All run Gentoo Linux, all run folding. #1 is my desktop, 2, 3, and 4 are set up as servers.
