Re: Basically, I don't see the need for the Pentium IV or for that matter a 1.5Ghz Palomino. Why should people continue to upgrade their PC's?

This sentiment crops up periodically, and there is certainly some truth to it. But here are two considerations for you.

1. The manufacturing cost difference between an 800MHZ chip and a 1.2GHZ chip is nearly zero. (right now, P4 is a different story) I'm pretty sure a substantial number of buyers will be willing to pay a couple hundred bucks extra for a computer with the 1.2GHZ part.

2. I'm assuming that you drive a used Hyundai or something similar since you don't "need" anything more expensive to get from point A to point B.

Regards,

Dan
