    I'm thinking of upgrading my ZV6000 to a FX-55 (San Diego), right now it's got an Athlon64 3200 in it. I've found some used FX-55 on eBay for around $120, and some 1GB SO-Dimm for $33, so the upgrade will cost about $170 after shipping. Is it worth it to do this upgrade?

    My other option would be spend $300-350 for a netbook, but the CPUs on the netbooks are so weak, it won't be much of an upgrade from my current laptop except for portability.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.
