Ali, We are in agreement here. In early 90s, I used 386/486 PCs capable of supporting 10Mbps Ethernet at full blast (5-6mbps throughput state-of-the art 3Com/Synoptics/Cabletron hardware of those days). So I don't exactly need a 800MHz processor for 1 Mbps broadband. There gotto be some application that takes that broadband data and does something that stresses the processor. Alas, I don't see any such "mass" application - yet. I have a DSL connection that gives me better than 1Mbps on certain file transfers but I have never seen things slowing down because of my processor. It is always the server or the network that is the bottleneck. And if it is not that then it is my hard drive access. Chuck
