Upgrading from a Pentium 1
Worth the money?
Some people call me Maurice SPLAT Pro lifetime, ADK 6 core 3.6Ghz with 32 GB RAM, SSD 1TB system drive, 3 3TB regular drives for samples, recordings and misc. Behringer X Touch, UAD Apollo Quad. 2 UAD2 Quads PCI (i think - inside the box whatever that is), Console 1. More guitars (40??) and synths (hard and soft) than talent. Zendrum!!!

For a PIII yes, but wait awhile and the P4s will come down in price (or will they?)

Not if all you do is play Solitaire. (btw I belong to a Solitaire team, nobody has beaten me yet.)

Makes me want to retrieve my old AMD-K6 system from whatever lost dimension it's in... say a prayer, and put it right back.

We can laugh now, but the Pentium was a major breakthrough in its day. I think many of us are old enough to have seen personal computers advance from the horse drawn days to the current crop of multi-core machines. I am personally amazed. The one thing we can count on is that whatever machine you have will be obsolescent much quicker than the P1 was in its time.
