I guess for BoB I'll need another squirrel, another elephant and 12 more monkeys at a minimum.

Sorry Beebop, I know you posted these screenshots and photos of your rig on our private forums, with strict instructions they should not be circulated, but I felt it was in the communities interest to post one of your non-photoshopped screenies:

Your missus posted this too, now I know it's only a 12th of your system:

Grrr! I told her not to send a pic of the OLD processor. The Remington 'B' model typewriter was my last upgrade. (It was made in 1932 BTW) The pictured model is one of my old "Celerytron" processors I had when I got my first computer. Thomas Alva Edison made it special for me.

Now you may not see a difference but the monkey is an upgrade too. The original (pictured) only had a 1 Byte cache but my new one has a 2 Byte cache, one used for the instruction at hand the second stored in his cheek for the next instruction. You'd be surprised how much faster he is.
