If you are asking how fast a processor it will take, not sure I can look it up. 
But things change so fast I don't bother with just processor upgrades.

The busiest one, Freedom I think it is.
I'm pretty sure my global friend name is WildSlash. 
Most of my toons have Wild in their name.
Let me know if you start playing again and I'll let you know for sure, at work now, info at home.

[murdock]

the only real reason to go to vista is if your going to run app's that can use or need the 64 bit clock. otherwise I'd wait on the OS till they get all the buggs worked out, like maybe in say 4 years!
