Yes, there was a hardware upgrade. I looked it up, because I wasn'tcompletely sure, but we've been running on the same basic hardware since July 2004. When I bought it, I thought forward and got a 64-bit processor with the idea that I might not replace it for several years, which sureturned out quite true. The replacement is not brand-new -- it's adual-core, and has a lot more memory, but it's noticably faster than the old setup. The main drive has also been replaced, so there might be somespeed there.There were also software updates across the board, some of which I wasstill applying at 2 AM last night. I'm a little loopy still. So, apparently, is the torrent tracker.
