Just setup my new PC.
Most of it's new, some parts came from the previous machine.
1.4 Ghz Processor (AMD)
256Mb DDR Ram
2 40Gb drives, ...
My previous machine had a bad motherboard and power supply.
(P3 550, 384(?) Mb ram.
This machine is much quicker.
Program installs are MUCH quicker..
0-60??
Z3 info..
Just washed the Z, it's looking good.
But, seems like everytime I wash it, I find a new blemish.
:-(
Oh well. It's definitely worth it.

Just kidding (kinda, see link:))
I just did same thing (raiding old PC for new Athlon/Abit KG7-RAID based monsta) and I really notice the difference as you do, in program installs. The true joy of it so far has been discovering Morpheus (www.musiccity.com) for mp3s
and Nero for CD burning. woohoo!
