The amd athlon 64 x2 4600 was waiting for me at home last night. I finally got around to putting it in the box and powering the box up about 9pm last night. Got fedora core 6 loaded and started downloading updates. Updates were coming down very fast thanks to my cable modem getting a new config and now I have 5meg down 512kb up. Very nice. Let updates apply and turned it off about 10:30pm. Will continue working on it tonight. This is the first linux box I have had two cores on. Was fun watching top looking at what each core was doing during the updates. This makes me want to spend the 109 dollars on a amd athlon 64 x2 3800 for my other box. Then I could put that 3500 into something when I feel like upgrading my last box. I am almost to the point of just getting rid of all of my intel stuff. Just have two motherboards and processors left. One I am not using at all. Just sitting there. The other is my 2003 box. Not sure if I am going to make a virtual machine out of that or what yet. So this weekend should be a good one if all goes well.
