I installed F12 yesterday, and so far it's been pretty impressive on this 6 year old P4 laptop.

LOL. Sounds like my desktop...
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
I really need an upgrade. I figure when I finally do, it'll be like going from my 400Mhz PII to the P4 listed above. I think this system is almost 8 years old. I'm figuring the quad-core box that I'll be replacing it with should hopefully last a full decade. I've got a disk that is giving me smartdrv errors, and I've decided when the disk(s) go, the box goes.

From the Release Notes...

Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium Pro or better

Hmmm... might be best for me to stay on F11 for the duration. :-)

Yeah, I'm planning on building my next one again. Like you, I'm figuring on a 10-year box, so I'm looking at dual quad-core. I'd also like a USB 3.0 port, but so far, the combination doesn't exist. I may end up settling for a card with USB 3.0 ports on it.
