8. Cool beans!

Congrats.

I took a jump from a 486DX2/66 to an Athlon 2200. It was like going from a horse and buggy to a Ferrari.

10. What kind of mileage are you getting with that big motor?
After all, hi-test is $2.00+/ gallon! Stay off the accelerator. Avoid jack-rabbit starts. Shift gears sanely.
