Thanks (and thanks everyone else who replied).

I'm trying to get some concept of 'scale' for want of a better word.

Myself, I still have one of the earliest AMD Athlons running at 1.1G and is on
it's 2nd PSU and 3rd? 4th? HD.

From time to time I run Yoshimi on it to see how it behaves. I have to switch
off most of the compiler optimisations as it doesn't support modern sse stuff.

I think it's fair to say it trots rather than runs :)

I'm wondering if I should continue to check against this, or send it off to the
home for geriatric computers.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
