What am I planning to run? Quake3Arena, Half-Life/TFC, etc, etc, etc ...
Yeah, I'm a Games Addict. ^_^ My current P200 is sufficing for
work-related things, but it's falling a bit behind in the games. Plus,
it doesn't hurt to have extra speed for things like compiling; it's just
not as time-critical as things like action games.

And after the upgrade, I can give the P75 Linux Gateway back to work and
make the P200 the server. ^_^
