I actually hold a 8-5 job and still have time to do the above. My "spare" time (I don't consider playing games a spare time activity...I budget time for that) is spent trying to get myself back into programming. Lets face it - I need to learn to write games if I am to achieve lifelong peace.

O yeah, AMD_man... the other thing we have in common.. I use AMD processors. Intel is just now starting to get over that suck they call a processor. I'll reevaluate in a few months when I'm ready to buy though. I don't have any brand loyalties.

Agreed, the Northwood is the first half-decent processor made by Intel in a long time. I just want a better FPU too.
