I'm on a desktop which does give me a lot more options.  I can upgrade 
my video card and stuff to "improve" the speed.  I think my CPU and ram 
will be fine but a faster video card would help, although what I have is 
not really bad tho.

My current rig is a AMD 2500+ with 2Gbs of ram sitting on a Abit NF7 
v2.0 mobo.  I have a Nvidia FX-5200 with 128Mb of ram for a video card.  
I have two older IDE drives and one SATA drive that is for data, movies 
and such as that. 

It's about 5 or 6 years old but it still works.  I hope to keep it 
working for a lot longer tho.  May move it to the closet when I get me a 
new rig built.

P. S.  I'm currently building a update for KDE 4.  It appears to be KDE 
4.3.4.  I can't wait to check it out. 

Estimated update time: 8 hours, 7 minutes.
