OT: Upgrading an AMD processor

I really like that when dragging windows I can see what's underneath them.

Sure.  I use transparency on gnome terminal windows often, because I can see what the window would ordinarily be occluding which I might need to see to enter into whatever I'm typing.  I also like the feature that grays out a window when it's momentarily unresponsive, so that I'm aware of that fact when it happens.  The feature that lets you see what the actual window looks like when you alt-tab or hover your mouse over the icon in the task bar is also helpful. 
 
Mostly, I think it looks cool and I appear to have enough resources to handle it so... why not?  Personally, I think it's early in the game yet.  Once some people get their creative juices flowing, we'll find lots of indispensable uses for it.  Right now, they're just feeling their way.
