+10 :-) My new computer is on order and will arrive next week. Quad Core 
with 4GB memory. A huge upgrade from my current P4 2.4Ghz with 1GB memory.

I would like all my cpu cores to work as hard as they can! So I can code 
faster. ;-)

Yes, it is a pleasure not having to do the SVN vs Git thing either. :) 
Did I mention Git uses multiple threads for log, diff and delta packing 
if a multi-core cpu is detected. [...Graeme runs and hides behind his
