gst, processor aand memory speed, yes. keep in mind that the weight given is based on someone's personal opinion (this is subjective - almost everyone would devise a different system of weightings if given the task of doing this). I supppose this technique would be somewhat effective if applied honestly. But to do so, you would have to factor in the rising inefficiency of operating systems and application software that relies on shadowed window compositing (which requires lots of memory and processor cycles), virtual memory (which eats up processor cycles and hard disk space), etc. etc. I really doubt that the hedonic pricing algorithms consider such negative factors. If they did, it would be a hoot to see some data on how much more expensive Microsoft products have become, hedonically speaking, introduced at the antitrust trial! Dave
