Checked the stats this morning only to get a triple whammy...

Scott has appeared in my rearview mirror and is gaining uncomfortably fast,

RIP has stepped on the gas and is pulling away, and...

Kevin has hurdled all three of us!

Dang, I need more power!

This little team of ours is building fast, we should be into the top 20 shortly.

Yeah, Scott really did step on the gas ever since I challenged him to a one machine vs. one machine race....needless to say he didn't stick to it.

Hey, I said I needed to get ahead, and one 400MHz machine wasn't going to cut it.

Does this mean you are going to be in the competition?

I don't think that I can muster that kind of power.
I'll see.

Hey, you are already outproducing me, so why not. I don't figure I can win, but at least it is a fun way to see where I stand compared to others, and it helps the team.

Just think of how much interest it would stir if folks thought they had a chance of beating the great Scotttheking. Heck, I might even scrape up a few extra cpu cycles to do that.

Join us Scott. It'd be fun to compete with the all powerful ScottTheKing. You've bested us in so many other projects, why not go for one more.

But I can't use most of my processing power
I've imposed a no spending policy, I'm waiting for the next processor from AMD, then I'm going to get 2 dual systems
Supposedly they'll be running at around 5GHz each
Oh yeah, and I'm saving for my new tower

Until I get those systems, I don't have a force that I can put on any of these little new projects

I hope you're not spending that money just for DC projects, but that you really have a need for all that Windoze/Linux power.

Heck, I would just like to have your idea of "not enough power."
