ok, and so i have for only a slight increase of cost, a machine that can
offer me better performance AND stability.  but i wasn't thinking that.  what
if i were to go out and get myself a swank PC to put on my desktop.  even
something with dual heads and good solid (maybe not blazing) speeds.  most
likely i will end up spend far more than i have on this Octane.  which was
sorta my point, i get a high geekpoints machine that rocks for PC prices.

it's about damn time.  :)

oh, have no fear, this is exactly what i plan to do.  :)

i've got other places to spend my money though right now, but very soon i will
get at least one TRAM board.

although when i have three, my atlantis screensaver will kick all sorts of ass.
now i need to learn GL and write the most obsessive, horsepower requiring,
screensaver ever.  that sounds fun. ;)
