<Now that I think about it, I take back what I said about Kryotech, especially in regard to the developer who cares about time-to-market and wants to know right now how useful his product will be on future machines>.

There are also a group of users that run simulations for tens or hundreds of hours. A reliable machine with a 10% speed advantage will save you five weeks per year. Most researchers doing this simulations cost $200-$300K per year for salaries, equipment and overhead. A 10% percent productivity increase here can be worth $20,000 per year or more. This is not the case for the home user or game player however. Kryotech beer cans, if reliable, can be
valuable.
