I only have 1.8G processors (by subtraction, that makes them 244s I guess?) A quick look at newegg reveals a Tyan Tiger motherboard for 250$, plus 2 CPUS for 300$ each (mine cost 440 a year ago if I remember correctly). I would guess you would come out slightly better in terms of Crafty speed on 32-bits, and Windows XP for 64-bits is due out pretty soon I think. Of course, there is also something to be said for the comfort of knowing Dell is there for you. anthony
