> The current technology is overshooting the needs of the mass market.

I was actually thinking of starting a thread about throwing away computers: does anyone else find it hard to throw away old computers these days? I have a core 2 duo sitting on my desk right now, in the box. I can't convince myself to put it in anything, yet, I can't throw it away. I feel like I'd be throwing a way a supercomputer.

Which cpu is it? A lot of computers are still on LGA 775 (socket T), like the Pentium D. So it could easily be a drop-in replacement for some older CPU. I would gladly take it off your hands if you lived near me.
