yeah I like my dullie too. I am though the exception to the rule...... My first dullie was an ABIT BP6 with 2 celeron 366 cpu's that I o/c'd to ~525 mhz. Loved the machine except for its lousy ata/66 integrated controller. but the speed bug bit me, and at the time there was simply no cheap alternative to the BP6, so I upgraded to a Socket A athlon t-bird 750mhz and o/c'd it 933mhz, and it was an improvment. Many upgrades later..... When dullies with good performance became resonable I switched back. Happy I did, and I did it for video enconding. Now if only I could afford dual monitors.....
My dullie dream, is dual monitors, dual 1 gig sticks of ram, dual cpu's, dual HD's in raid 0 of course! All I need is that second monitor to compliment my $20 piece of junk monitor. though I can't complain too much it is a 20" Supermatch trinitron monitor, with a blown rectifier. Those dell 21" P1110's are looking good at $238 including shipping...
