Wow, almost a present. $800. Forget it. Not for such a tournament only. I am not
able to cook or bake money, otherwise I'd buy one. I have other priorities for
what I spend my money for.

I know that I CAN buy a faster computer. But don't tell me when and for which
prize I will do that. My personal limit is DM 500-600 = approx. $220-$270 for at
least twice the speed. That means at least 1GHz. That means board & CPU for
$220-$270 because my board has a limit of 750MHz.
Sure, this is my own choice.
You have to accept that.
You all have NO right to DEMAND a hardware upgrade of my computer before I can
participate at such a tourney.
Got it?

Period.
