I am looking at building a new computer anyway based on low powered dual atom system, http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=12678 is a bare bones system, to which i need to add hard disk, ram and a optical device (dvd rw). oddly its the same clock speed as my current duron 1600 which is at least 6 years old if not older, I guess as this is dual core, its faster, Paul -- Next Paignton meeting - Saturday 7th August 2010 - 3pm Lighthouse, Paignton, Next Holsworthy Meeting - Saturday 21st August @ The White Hart, Holsworthy.
