You have a PS-2 keyboard that was made 1986?
You mean a 9-pin keyboard. The big round ended cable. Yes IBM made ps-2 versions (small round ended), but most (99.9999999%) have been the 9 pin style ones. They are heavy, loud, and dam nice to type on. They also make good weapons, but tend to not be so good to type on after using it to smash someone in the head.
Most people I have seen want a workstation for either high end programming, or rendering something (3D video/pictures, etc). The high end programmers are dual or more (usually quad) monitors and the rendering people need the graphics processing power. Not the gamer cards but the rendering cards Quadro from Nvidia and Fire from ATI(? I forget ATI's cards). Nither of those types cards are low end. The plain number crunching business people yes they don't need a high end graphics solution. But many business people are going multi-monitor. And if those business people are stock traders I have seen a few with eight (yes 8!!) monitors. Those people had multiple video cards (one AGP, and three pci all hooked to two monitors each).
Regular home people who read email, surf and do regular things, yes this looks good for them. But most of the other people this is not going to be common.
I need to see these CPU/GPU combos in action before I'd say anything with the gamer crowd. I have seen gamers go through 2-5 video cards a year. Remember they over clock a lot. This can burn out the chips faster if kept at the upper limit all the time. Most of the over clocks to the CPU don't burn out the chip, but the video over clocking I have seen is where the damage comes in. They buy a high end video card, change the fan (or put a water block on it) and max out the GPU and memory speeds on the video card. Sometimes all is fine, othertimes the card gets burned out.
just what I have seen, and like I said I want to see these in action before any real decison is made.

Isql has been used for a long time in MS SQL products. Like since SQL 6.0. IS Steve going to buy it off of Bill?
