Well I use NT as an X-Term with winamp support and for gaming and other
leisure :)

Well... simple... the price : fl 1800 for a P2B-DS and 2x 266mhz P2
That's cheaper than fl1600 for a single p2 400mhz... and even
cheaper than a AMD-K6-2 333mhz with a new board + seperate Diamond
Fireport U2W Dual... and yes I'm "just" a student... but I work
hard as a programmer in the Dijkzigt Hospital... currently on
a hartlung machine :) And I simply wanted as a friend of mine took
it too... and I wanted too upgrade anyway... and I can now quake
with softrender... till my mga g-200 arrives.... for the rest
I mostly "power computing" like rendering etc... so I kinda
need it :)

Greets,
