EXACTLY - See my note to Pete - I couldn't justify the $600 for mainly 
the CPU upgrade to 667 MHz from 550 MHz (although FSB is 133 MHz on the 
667 MHz CPU, vs. 100 MHz on the 550 MHz CPU).

For $30 I can upgrade to 512 Meg RAM (www.ramseeker.com), and 20 Gig HD 
is fine for now.... (Famous last words!)

And I am lovin' the idea of 1000baseT networking, but have nothing that 
speed here...
