I should add that while these parts are useful for some upgrading of 
users machines, I see no value anymore in the slower machines i.e. 
1.6GHz or less and am now breaking them up - sad to see them go - they 
were expensive in their day.

Generally the requirement now is for dual core (or better) and 1.6GHz or 
better.

I have now built several machines which use the dual core Atom 1.66GHz 
and, being such a quiet and low power machine is really absolutely fine 
for most purposes until you to come to some serious video editing and 
serious photo manipulation when a faster processor and more RAM is a 
real advantage.

So the old machines go out.
