I have to say that I get impatient when I work on anything that does not have dual-channel DDR; it does not take much time to get used to it :-(PS. I like E-bay; last example - our collegues spend a long negotiations and settle price for Cisco switches with a good discount; 10 seconds e-bay search revealed exactly the same systems in original boxes (unopened) 10% cheaper -:)Hear, hear. And since it's new, no re-licensing issues. Hardware costs nothing these days: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=73321&item=571185 5935&rd=1 Maybe that's what I'll ask Santa this year: a BFR^H^H^H GSR to replace my home router. <shameless plug> Looking for someone to provide an OC-12 to my home for $100/mo so I can test the router mentioned above. Oh, I also need this, don't I? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=162&item=51126654 63&rd=1 </shameless plug>
Called Cogent? There prices arn't that low but pretty close, and if you find a nice sales guy you may be able to wiggle some of it out of him.
