Other than Graphics or Games related, is there ever any reason to upgrade? The old Celeron 333 I have in the corner runs Microsoft Word just as well as my new Athlon 1100.

A new-ish Celeron 500 w/128M RAM, bought low end 'cos it's cheap, I could go twice as fast at four times the price, but I can pick that up next year for $500.More money for beer... and personally I cant tell the difference between 2 pico-seconds and 4! |

I think I'm joining Locutus and MKL at the very bottom end here:IBM ThinkPad 770 (am I the only one playing this one a laptop?)
Pentium 200 MMX
64MB
13.3 XGA TFT
some 4MB 3d video chip
But with a whopping 18GB total HDD space (without battery) Unfortunately it will be another full year before it gets replaced. Best thing about it: it's free!!! My boss expects me to work on this thing

just upgraded to a p3 933 with 256.
a dvd drive
a cd writeable
an omega zip drive
40gig
Didn't replace the printer or monitor, so it only cost 1,500.My old one was a 233 with 64.
Can't believe just how much difference it make.
I used to walk away from the machine in between turns(later in the game), go outside have a smoke, come back and just catch the end of the turn change. Now it takes less than 8 seconds. Knew it would be faster, but not this much. Combined with a cable modem has also sped up our civII mp games. RAH
