Damn - what on earth could you possibly use 1 TB of disk for?? o_O

I only know 1 person who has nearly that much space - and he uses it for 
illegal media downloads. (Not something I do, obviously.)

My current motherboard doesn't even *support* more than 4 GB of RAM. 
Although I guess RAM is much cheaper now than it used to be.

Dual-core is becomming common, but I don't think I've met anybody yet 
who can afford quad-core. (Since that almost necessarily requires you to 
buy Intel, who are still quite expensive.)
