The Athlon XP's have serious multitasking and heat problems, I would think
the dual durons would be a better configuration, albeit perhaps more
expensive.  Another thought, which is better? a 1ghz athlon or a 1ghz duron?

As for the game cube, how much?  I don't need a fish tank, but it might be a
nice place to store my 10 year old user of said gaming system, if I were to
purchase it from you. ;-)
