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!!!!
