The amd athlon 64 x duo??
amd athlon 64 x2 is what I think you meant… that cpu is 64bit… your os (vista) is 32 bit.

just trying to help clear that up…

Ones that use lots of source data (gigs of video files) are less practical than ones that use small data (a handful of protein molecules), unless you have a really really fast LAN and fileserver.

I up graded the memory too3 gig and put a game card and added a bigger hard drive. I had several driver problems but was able to get proper drivers with windows help and the software companies. I am most pleased with Vista. I do admit i have held onto my xp computer to run the programs that software companies want you to pay to upgrade to a new version in order to get Vista drivers. (Roxio) for one. Vista has overcome most of the XP problems that I had. You should not upgrade older computers to Vista because it needs at least a gig of ram and 2 for most programs. My computers Rates a 5 On a schale of high 5.9. I haveno problems with games and it has never locked up while running any program. My only regret is that I thought it was a 64 bit os and it is not. it has a amd athlon 64 xduo processor so IO thought it would be a 64 bit os but did not find out until I had it home and running that it wasn't.

Something interesting to note is Apple has included it's distributed computing "Xgrid" (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xgrid/) technology with all computers since the release of OS X 10.4 in April 2005. This technology allows you to easily access the distributed power of all Macs on your network. As Chris mentioned regarding video work, VisualHub (http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/), a video converter for the Mac also has xgrid support built in to allow it to push encoding work out to other Macs on your network, it's very cool and can be quite useful in the right environment. I guess the only real downside to Xgrid, is currently there are not very many Xgrid aware apps available. Good article, and I too agree that distributed computing is the way of the future.
