Until early this month, I sat at a dual-proc 200MHz PPro every day for
the last 7 years.  If it were a single (heck, if it were a single
300MHz system), I couldn't have managed that long.  As a dual...
sure, Mozilla was unusable, and I'd just go to bed for big compiles,
but interactive response was always good.
