If you think a 333 MHz PIII is fast enough for everything you do then you're not in the high end. Believe it or not, there *are* applications that will suck up as much power as you can give them. Try doing FDTD modeling and you'll see what I mean. Better yet, try debuggin FDTD code. Every time you make a change to the code you have to wait several minutes while the code runs just to see if your latest change works. If you're coding all day, your productivity is very dependent on the speed of your machine.
MAPS RBL is totally optional. My IT department gives me the option of opting out of email filtering that checks the RBL. RBL is for those people who have had enough of spam and want filtering. If *you* don't want it ask you IT department about putting you on their opt out list.
