It looks like you will only get about 35-40% increase in speed.  For me it's not
enough unless the upgrade is really cheap.  So far I haven't found a cheap
enough upgrade to do the deed.  I will not upgrade untill I can at least double
the speed (maybe 50-60 Elo).  I've had my XP2400+ for about 2 years now.  What
happened to the "double speed every 18 months" idea?
