Chuck Re <<I am saying is that most users don't run applications that useup the MHz in today's processors.>> Yes, but don't most plan to use their computer next month also, and the month after that. I personally only buy top of the line, so I won't have to upgrade for 2 years. I paid few hundreds more to get the 650 MHz foil instead of the 550, but I think it was worth it. I do not like upgrading computer, transferring files, backing stuff up, etc. I am with chic in completely disagreeing with that dude's analysis that anything over 500 MHz is a waist of money. 450 MHz K6-2 or Celeron is barely good enough now, in 12 months it will be choking. I don't think this person argument is any different than when people were saying 40 MHz 486 DX2 is fast enough and paying for a Pentuim is a waist of money. Mani
