Hi Pinchas,
Mind telling me why do you want to pay for stuff that you really don't need
or use?
Examples:
1. You want to buy Pentium 4 - yet, there isn't a single program that will
let you use it's real power (specially with SSE2). GCC 3.1 will probably have
support for SSE-2, but currently - nothing is supporting it.
2. Buying P4? congratulations - now, buy RDRAM, yes - the very expensive one
which has been shown in every review that it's speed is the same with
DDR-RAM..
3. You'll also need to replace your board, box, and power supply because it
makes lots of heat..
So why don't you just buy yourself a nice AMD Athlon, that 1.2 Ghz or 1.33
Ghz is much cheaper then any Pentium 4, couple it with some DDR-RAM, buy in
the spare change some good graphics card and sound card - and enjoy ;)
