5 years? Try almost 8! The Sawtooth came out in August 1999! My Dual 500 Tower (vintage 2000) is still running strong! :-) I may break down and upgrade the CPU, but only because the prices have really fallen for the 1.0-1.4gHz upgrades. It's really amazing what you can still do with these machines...
