This might be a good discussion for alt.comp.hardware, but it's so far off 
topic in alt.windows-xp as to be wasted bandwidth.  I can guarantee that the 
typical user cannot tell the difference between the speeds of machines 
running P4's or Dual-Core processors.  Word will look equally quick on both.

So, quit your fucking cross-posting you stupid moron!!!!
