# Sure, if you're
dumb enough to buy one of them new OEM intel jobs from Dell or someone - build an Athlon XP or buy a second hand PC and rip the shit out of it.
That 'slower they run' bit is bollocks.

# Eep, Intel
I would only ever use an AMD, because Intel obviously make it so there proccesors slow themselvesdown when there old :)

# That's patently bollox
Processors don't slow down because computer games that were state-of-the art when the processor came out can still run at full speed - it is in fact windows that gets slow. When I installed windows 2000 it took about 20 seconds to boot, now I can switch my PC on, walk 3 stories down to the street, hire a hooker, empty my wallet (amongst other things) and come back, and it's still not booted. I now have 3 options, 1) reinstall my operating system 2) find a really mingin' prozzer 3) buy a new processor

cheers
