Well Mike,

It's not about startup time, it's about running time, sometimes the
systems freezes
a little bit, just like asking for more CPU or RAM.

My Box = AMD64 3200,1Gb RAM,Nvidia Gforce5500FX,2xHD80gb,Mobo Asus K8V
Deluxe,Gentoo64

My Old Box= Pentium3 1Ghz,512MbRAM,Nvidia Gforce2,2xHD80gb,Mobo Asus,Gentoo32

I'm a Java developer, I bought this processor for the same reason
you'd buy a new
processor = get a faster machine.
