Kap, thanks for the IBD article. Quotes from the IBD Article & Comments: “It’s designed for the Internet,” said Doug Carmean, the engineer who led the Pentium 4 chip design. By this, he means it aims to work well with PCs connected to the Net. It will give Web surfers better graphics and audio performance, among other things, say Intel officials." Intel marketed the P-III with the same story -- and PC Magazine found essentially no difference in real internet performance. The delays are with the pipe (congestion or connection speed) for most users. "And right away, the P4 will excel in multimedia applications, like shooting home movies and sending them over the Web to relatives, analysts say. “It will greatly improve the ability to do classic multimedia applications,” Glaskowsky said." The P4 may greatly accelerate manipulation of video but users will still need to get it from the camera (where is that firewire support for digital video cameras?) and then onto the net (slow pipes) and back from the net (more slow pipes). I believe Apple is a little ahead in providing a start to finish solution on the desktop for home users but the slow pipes remain for most. This is an area I am interested in as a hobby (home digital video) but distribution is my biggest unknown - the first being the time to enjoy in the first place. :-) -PT
