Hi Niall--

I looked into it for my P5-133 with Thor. However, by the time I added
the costs of the new processor, new power supply, power regulator, fan,
more memory, plus the new HD I also wanted, and then the new backup I
would consequently need, plus the new modem I also wanted, I was well on
my way to the price of a new computer. So that's what I'm doing.
