It's about time that someone caught on to this. I have a dual 400 celeron, overclocked to 500 and it runs great (as long as I have adequate cooling). It also cost me less than $1000 to build. The real trick was in the slockets, which made the SMP and Overclocking a breeze.
I've always used the term "Geek" too, although that name can have a negative connotation among the uninformed also.
Difference between a geek and a nerd? While both are lacking social skills, a geek is interested in a subject that has productive value while a nerd concerns him/herself with subjects that have very little real-world application.
Why don't we have a slashdot poll to determine the most liked, eh?
Second, Linux products are not particularly scalable and don't handle multiprocessors well.
I'm sick of hearing this with nothing to back it up. Ok, am I wrong or did a cluster of P2 Linux machines match the performance of a Cray Supercomputer? Wouldn't you consider that pretty f**kin scalable?
