I skipped windows 95 entirely for example, lol. win98 came out before I decided I needed an upgrade, hehe.

Where did you read that review? Cnet? I'll take a look.
I've read several reviews at anandtech.com, tomshardware, xbits etc.. And a discussion forum or two. Overall it's supposed to kick some butt, especially with dual cards.

It is a dual core pentium, which would server me much better than the celeron in my current desktop (I got it free when I ordered a high end laptop a few years ago, haha). I also read several reviews on it by buyers from newegg.com and other places. Evidently it's pretty nice and stable and cool running, even overclocked to over 4ghz.

Not sure I can prevent the hole burning in my pocket on this one.
I overclocked my Pentium D 3ghz (930) to 3.8ghz and the hottest it got was 65C while rendering 2 hours worth of video and playing the game F.E.A.R with all graphic settings set to the highest possible. (Geforce 7800GT)

I don't want to get a 64-bit OS yet since it may make the current applications that I use run like shit since they are 32-bit apps.
