In that case, you could easily get away with just the Athlon, but personally
I'd go with the dual duron just for bragging rights ;-)
It is my firm belief that every geek deserves a box with so many processors
that at least one of the processors is too busy telling the other processors
which job to do that it can't do anything else itself, enough drive space
that it takes an oracle database to keep tabs on all of your files, and at
least twice as many bytes of ram as dollars in the national debt...
