Heh... I'm saying that about my 2.4ghz p4, now.. :/

Of course with a 4-core chip, anything that runs parallel now, should 
really benefit. That and lately my processor seems slower and slower, 
but I'm not exactly sure why.

For example, this flash game runs slowly enough that it's unplayable on 
my home PC, but my office PC, which has the same CPU speed, but is a 
Core 2 Duo runs it fine. I can't figure out why my processor seems to be 
slowing down, though.
