Optiplex GX620

My new computer came today. It is well sweet. 3GB RAM and 160GB SATA disk. DVD burner. And only $320. A nice surprise was that it's a dual-core Pentium. I had expected that I'd have to scrape by on a single core. I now just have to think of something neat to do with all those cores. Perhaps I'll get one to do nothing but calculate prime numbers while merrily playing some high-intensity (but high FPS) Tetris on the other.

  1. what does one do with cores, anyway?

  2. I’m not sure you’d do anything that normal people would find useful.

  3. Then you have a backup in case Klingons breach the first one.

  4. I think that actually was the main motivation for them.
