    I'm going to Law School this fall and will be looking to replace my G3 iBook. Dual core anything will be a little overkill, but I do a bit of hobby work in Blender 3D (www.blender.org) so that should help. You you imagine an Xgrid of these things? (no apologies to the Beowolf crowd)

    But 64 bit is TWICE as many bits. Therefore is is TWICE as good, and TWICE the speed.

    For that price and those crappy ram/hd/lcd specs, I'll stick with my current desktop.

    And you'll probably be sticking in one place too.
