well... I ordered my computer last night

I am SO excited you have no idea. This computer is going to be so
ridiculously fast. The latest benchmark tests I've been seeing have
rated the low end model of my computer (mine's max'd out of course)
as scoring above a 150 on the xBench. For those of you who don't know
what the xBench test is, it's a benchmarking program used to test the
limits of a systems hardware in all aspects of computing (e.g.
processor/video/memory/hard drive etc). As a comparison to this new
system, my current laptop scored an 8 on the xbench... yes... a
single digit 8, and my custom built crazy desktop computer scored
approximately 50.

Needless to say, I'm going to enjoy having a supercomputer
accompanying me to class everyday ;-).
