The old Athlon XP 2400 with half a gig of RAM up and died a couple weeks ago.
It was due to happen; I built the system in 2003.  Got an HP quad core Athlon
system.

Single-core rendering is almost twice as fast, and with all four cores rendering
is 7.6 times as fast.

So I make the frames larger (512x288 vs. 320x240), and up the AA levels as well.

Life is good.

Regards,
John
