RE:Realistically speaking, does anyone really need anything faster than 200MHz machine? Realistically speaking...probably not. People probably don't really need computers, either. On the other hand, we have 166 MHZ and 450 MHz computers at work, and the difference is astounding. In once case, I go out to get a cup of coffee whenever I compile a program, in the other, I just count to 30. Likewise, data conversions no longer take so long that I need to find something else to do in the meantime. Even serial communications is faster, and code that used to take several minutes to download, now takes only a minute. Unfortunately, only a few of our machines run at 450 MHz, but we all appreciate the speed. I believe that a 1 GHz machine would be really nice!! Yes, there is a difference.
