I recently upgraded to Athlon 266 1.4  and I'm not even using it yet much. I
havn't yet installed Tiger. But I'm not even worrying too much (should I?) about
the thought that when I get around to it there will be much better, because what
I have won't ever go down in chess playing standard, so what's really important
to me I will not lose. I have it already.
